On Valentines Day Zeeland Christian’s middle school had a special event called serve and skate. This was an all day event that started with chapel. In chapel that morning we talked about leveling ourselves like Christ did because that’s what he calls us to do. After chapel, we broke up into our small groups and left school to go and serve. We served up until lunch and then went out to eat. After this, the middle school met at the skating rink to skate for the rest of the day.

I am in Mrs. Roskamp’s small group. We decided to go serve at Ditto. Ditto is a second hand store where people can donate their clothes and things they don’t want anymore for others to come and buy at lower price. ZCS is very grateful to this store because they donate their profit to ZCS families so that each person can have $200 off their tuition. Our group cleaned windows, washed shelves, organized toys, sorted clothes, made cards for the volunteers who worked there, and more. After serving at Ditto until lunch our small group went to Culver’s for lunch and then went skating.

That day was a really good experience for me because it went so well with our school’s theme for the year of “Go.” It reminded me that God calls us to “go” and serve others in a Christ like manner. I am grateful I had the opportunity to do that in our community.
