Serve the City
The young ladies of the 2010-2011 Princess Academy have been meeting for roughly a month now, and have been studying Paul the Apostle and the letter he wrote to the Colossian church. Their knowledge of the bible, and in-depth questions have made it an amazing year so far, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for the rest of our meetings!
After each week's lesson, the girls are challenged with the following question "How can you live out what we just learned?" Whether it's studying the worship of idols, purity, or serving others, the girls are always expected to put feet to the Gospel and have their lives reflect their beliefs.
Today, the girls "lived out" what they have been learning by serving the community alongside the Youth Community Coalition. You may remember last years event where the girls planted tulips alongside Providence Road along with other Columbia youth. This year...we did something a little different!
One thing Columbia is known for is its beautiful MKT Trail. Alongside the trail, runs a stream which the girls helped clean this morning! With trash bags, trash pickers and gloves in hand, the girls made their way down the stream and helped "Beautify Columbia!" It was a great experience for them, and a great way for them to live out their faith!!
