CEF Trip

Child Evangelism Fellowship - Warrenton, Missouri. We just returned from Warrenton after a week of volunteering at one of the most effective mission organizations in the world. Twenty-one people from our church - McConnell Memorial Baptist - and another 19 from neighboring Grace Presbyterian enjoyed each other's fellowship and had a rewarding time at the CEF. Most of us worked in the CEF Mailbox Club which manages a Bible correspondence course with some 70,000 active students. While the focus of all activities at CEF is toward children, there are many adults in the correspondence program, many of them prisoners in various jails around the country. We processed about 3,000 lessons each day. None of that would be possible without the help of volunteers like us that come each week to help. Here's a picture of the McConnell group.

Here's another bowl completed just before leaving for CEF. This is made from red oak, trimmed with a combination of poplar and purple heart.
