After two relatively quiet days we all woke up ready to SERVE!! And what a better way to kick off the day than a devotional with the UCI Elementary students. We were able to bless them with an outdoor speaker so the all the students could hear. UCI is definitely raising up a generation
We started our Sunday with an amazing church service! What an experience! The passion in the children worshipping was awe inspiring! The church service is like no other.
