In the Gym
As the new year begins, many new commitments are made. Among those new directions for many is a commitment to “time in the gym,” working out and taking care of our bodies. The Mission Arlington® family loves the new year. Everything we enjoyed in the previous year comes around again. One commitment we enjoy throughout each year is an event we call “Gym Night.”
Gym Nights happen on Friday evenings twice a month through much of the year. Children and youth, on separate nights, enjoy time in the gym – playing basketball, games of all kinds, and hearing a short Bible study designed specifically for them.
Last year hundreds of young people participated in these free events. They enjoy the night out, the physical activity, the time with their Bible study leaders, and they develop better relationships with their peers and also with the Lord.
We are so grateful for the privilege we have of sharing our lives with and investing in these energetic and strong young people. While we know how much fun these kids have, the truth is that we who get to be with them on these Friday nights are immensely blessed by the privilege. There is a lot of teamwork, laughter, and love that happens on these nights.
Thank you so much for the privilege we have of serving alongside of you in this community. Your faithful, generous prayers, help, and financial support play such a big part in all we do.
If you are looking for us tonight, we’ll be in the gym. That’s our commitment, and we’re sticking to it.
