Goodbye and Thanks For The Memories

Even though Serve is over, this web site will be busy for another week (at least!). We still have videos, audio, and photos to publish, so keep visiting.

For serve participants: if you made new friends during the week with whom you’d like to keep in touch, join our Facebook group, Muskegon Serve.

Day Away

Today was the day away, in more ways then we’d intended.

Alas, my entire family caught a cold, which I’ve discovered as the father of two kids under three is significantly different from just me catching a cold. One result is that I’ve had much less time to devote to Serve today, which is kinda a bum deal since it is also the “fun day” for everyone.

We’ll still have a slideshow, photos will be posted, etc. but I apologize for the general lack of updates today.

The Mailroom Is Closed

The mailroom is now closed. Our last batch of messages was delivered later than normal today for other reasons, but a nice side effect was more time for last minute messages, but as some groups will be leaving very early tomorrow, there won’t be any more deliveries.

All in all, we had over three hundred and fifty messages sent during the week. The kids were genuinely surprised at how many e-mails they would find each day as well as who was sending them e-mails. I regularly heard comments like “Someone from my church e-mailed me; it isn’t just my mom!” or “I didn’t think my grandparent even knew about the web site!”

Thanks for your words of encouragement, tidbits of wisdom, and news from the homefront.

The Dinner Line

Since Thursday is the last work day we typically have a nice dinner for the Serve participants to come back after a week of hard work. It was also a good opportunity to let the kids ham it up for the camera (again).
