Cool Visit
Well I meant to post something about the very cool visit with the Mayor last night but after watching AI last night with Carlee… i turned it to the Cavs-Pistons game to watch while I posted … next thing i knew it was the middle of the Lakers game! yikes… so I stumbled upstairs and went to bed.
So it’s Wed morning and I am feeling good after getting a cup of coffee down here in the village at Spot!
Yesterday Mayor Byron Brown stopped by Renovation and we were able to take him on a tour of the campus.
He had two great guys on his staff with him and so we started at the Renovation House/Office. Then we went over to Renovation Center starting at Renovation Station.
I love taking people through and telling the story of Renovation. Sharing the story of how hundreds of ordinary people came together in a very short amount of time and by God’s grace did something extraordinary!
So Earl the man with the plan for Renovation Station got to show the Mayor around and share with him why and how we partner with parents and bless and love on Kids every week! Of course he seemed to be blown away!
To everybody who lent a hand to make RS all that it is… THANK YOU!
Then we took him upstairs to see Peace of the CIty in action!
I could write a lot about this but a few quick thoughts:
- He got to hear 50 kids/volunteers/staff singing God of This City!
- He personally walked around the room and introduced himself to every boy, girl, staff, and volunteer!
- He took the time to really listen to Mark and Diann talk about ALL that Peace is doing and wants to do!
- He said he was blown away… (this was his first real introduction to one of the most incredible ministries in the city)
