SUMMER 2024
What a summer we have had! I can’t believe it has already come to an end, but so thankful for how God worked through our students and adults. I want to share just a few things with you. It began with Boles Mission Trip at the end of May and we were able to serve many on Boles Campus. We then had Sewing and Cooking Classes organized by several of our ladies here at Park Avenue. What a blessing they are to share their talents with our young people. We then had Middle School and High School Days where we served and also had some fun! Then we had Camp Horizon at Oklahoma Christian where 37 students and 9 adults participated. We had a great week and 6 students committed their life to Christ through baptism. Our Youth Interns then planned a fantastic Mystery Trip to Freeplay Arcade, Frisco Rough Riders, and Burgers Lake. Then we ended the summer with two weeks of Christian Theater Workshop! So thankful for Kathy Pryor, Janaga Trotter, and Kenna Brandt for organizing and leading the day camp and performances. Thank you for all your support, prayers, and help this Summer! We couldn’t have done it without you!   Tyler Cope, Youth Minister
