We had gallons of ice cream from vanilla, chocolate, strawberry swirl, peanut brittle, and world peace to every topping imaginable. We had root beer floats, coke floats,banana splits, and brownie sundaes! We had a wonderful time fellowshiping and of course devouring ICE CREAM! We all left feeling fat and sassy!

United Way Day of Caring
The residents from Stegall Home participated in the United Way Day of Caring with their Compensatory Education class from South Piedmont Community College this Saturday, August 28th. The day began at 7:30am on the campus of Wingate University with breakfast being served for all volunteers. There were over 300 volunteers on hand for the day. Our group went to the United Way Office in downtown Monroe to help sort toiletry items to be donated to local homeless and battered womens shelters. It was a wonderful day spent giving back to our community!

What a Day- August 22nd, 2010
We had a shouting, hallelujah, glorious day on Sunday, August 22nd! Sedrick and Ronnie were both baptized and became members of Hopewell Baptist Church! Ronnie accepted Jesus Christ into his heart and life while at Happiness Retreat this year and wished to follow through with baptism and membership. While discussing these steps with Ronnie, Sedrick stated that he had never been baptized and wished to do this also. You could truly feel the Holy Spirit all around us! We were all overcome with emotion and praising God that our family circle continues to grow and will not be broken!

On Friday, July 30 Subway in Marshville welcomed our residents to lunch before leaving for Happiness Retreat in Asheboro. The residents were given the opportunity to place their order 2 days before. When they arrived their meal was waiting for them along with a special message for each of them. All the guys were excited and enjoyed their meal! Thank You Karry for thinking of them!

YEE-HAW! Stegall Home Gets Down on the Ranch
Our week was filled with fun as we rounded up the answers to our questions for God at Saddle Ridge Ranch VBS at Hopewell Baptist Church. We asked God: Who Am I?; Does God Care About Me?; What’s God’s Plan For Me?; and How Can I Be Like Jesus? We learned that we are God’s creation- that he made us with His hands- he spoke everything else into being, but made us with His own hands. We learned that God does care about us and has an awesome plan for our lives, and that we can be more like Jesus by showing compassion to others. We sang praises to God, of course did a little line dancing since we were down on the ranch, and had some good grub from our time with the chuck wagon. The ranchers of Stegall Home even helped lead the worship time during the church service on Sunday morning. We had an awesome time at Saddle Ridge Ranch and came away closer to God!
