The weekend of May 3-5 I got the opportunity to go to Cumberland, Kentucky and serve at a ministry called Club 180 for a middle school girls Tea Party and lead worship. Club 180 is a ministry run by lifelong friends of my family. They are originally from where I live, but moved to Cumberland, Kentucky about seven years ago. I had never been before, so I didn't know what to expect. The town is so little and so broken. It was kind of like Haiti from what I heard, but more filled with drugs and alcohol, and you can guess what else. I went up there to sing at the tea party, as I said before. It was girls in 4th-8th grade that Mrs. Angie, one of the lifelong friends I was talking about, had been mentoring to all year long. We prepared food the night before and served it the next day. There were about 30 girls there for the tea party. The theme was about being a daughter of The KING, making them princesses, so they all got tiaras and looked so beautiful. I sang two songs for them - "10,000 Reasons" by Matt Redman, and "Not For a Moment" by Meredith Andrews. To see them sing along made me so happy, and it was a feeling I can't explain. I was asked to sing at their church the next day that was held in the Club. There were about 6-8 people there for church, and I sang the same songs for the church with one additional song - "To You Be the Glory" by Glory Revealed. It was an experience I will never forget. I am planning to go back up there this summer for a week or two and lead worship and minister to the middle school girls at their summer day camp.
Here are some pictures from the weekend:
These are pedafours (sp???) that we made for the tea party. I did the dots on the flowers :)
This is Jennifer Hart. She's a Christian recording artist. Check her out! She's absolutely amazing. She sang in and ampitheatre cave type thing on top of a mountain there called "Kingdom Come." That's where this picture was taken. She also sang at the tea party.
More pedafours (sp???). They were sooooo good.
The setup of the serving table! I thought it was adorable.
The tiaras for the girls. I love this picture.
Door prizes for the girls and their moms.
I just thought the pedafours were pretty okay.
Leading worship at the tea party.
Leading worship.
This sign was cool to me. It was on the way to the amphitheater.

I couldn't ask for a better weekend. I was so blessed throughout the whole thing.
To kind of end this post with the "theme" of the weekend, I challenge you to memorize Proverbs 31:30 - "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears The Lord is to be praised." Love you all!
