Trip
to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, Bowman, GA
The Youth's Summer Mission trip began with
a slight detour to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Bowman, GA on Sunday, June 22, 2008. The youth attended morning
service at PGBC and then were treated to lunch by the church at a local Zaxbys. The day was rounded off by a Sunday
Night Youth Rally - Radiate '08, where local bands played and our Youth got a chance to show off some of their talent.
Emily Hasty sang "When I think about the Lord" and our Youth performed "Everything". The rally
ended with team building and dinner. We spent the night in the PGBC Youth building and left for Bluffton, SC at 3am.
