One weekend

Today’s guest blogger is Phillip beacham, from one weekend in Sumter, sc

Over the past 10 years the Youth Pastors in Sumter, South Carolina have been organizing an event called One Weekend. This event is focused on getting teenagers from different churches, denominations, and cultures together for the purpose of worshiping and serving together as one. We have always placed a major emphasis on serving together and want everyone serving at the same time, and ideally doing the same thing.

So in 2016 we began to partner with Servants with a Heart. We have tried many different service projects, but nothing is as wonderful as working with Servants With a Heart. Their team is knowledgeable and helpful. Every year we have been in a different location but no matter the limitations, the team always makes it work.

In 2022 we were actually able, for the first time, to raise our normal goal of 50,000 meals to 75,000 meals. I am incredibly proud of our students in Sumter County. They packaged 75,000 meals and were cleaned up, in 2 hours! I am so thankful for Servants With a heart; they continuously impress our team here in Sumter, and we cannot wait to work with them again next year.
