The Wyatt Park Christian Church youth and sponsors recently returned home from a week-long mission trip to Eureka Springs, AR. They had the opportunity to paint cabins at the campground where they were staying.

The latter part of the week was helping to restore a little country church that had its beginnings pre-civil war. Much work was needed on the church but on our last day there, family members whose grandparents once served as pastors of the church showed up to share stories about the church with our youth. We learned it had also been a one-room school house. Once it’s finished, they plan to have Bible Studies, weddings, funerals and possibly Sunday services once again. They also thanked us by feeding us pizza! We finished our week with a fun day filled with kayaking and seeing “The Passion Play.”

Thank you to WPCC Associate Pastor Cindy Crouse for this story and photos.
