Interns Share Their Reflections On A Summer of Service
This weekend our two summer interns wrap up their almost ten weeks of service at BBC. We are thankful for their service and can't say enough about just how critical they were to the children, youth, and worship ministries throughout their time on staff.
As they prepare to conclude their service this Sunday, July 30, here are their reflections on how things went:

This summer as the BBC Student.Church CBF intern has been amazing! I have made so many new memories, gained new experiences, and made many new connections with staff, children and youth, and the congregation.
This summer has been full of highlights as I have grown in my walk with God, and as I have come closer to finding my calling. I have loved getting to work closely with the children and youth by being a part of VBS, chaperoning retreats, mission trips, camp, and of course last minute Fiesta trips for dinner. I have also loved getting to teach them in Sunday School throughout the Summer. I have enjoyed getting to know our congregation as a whole, meeting new people as well as making stronger relationships with those I already knew.
Being an intern at Benson Baptist has given me insight to what my calling in life may be. I have loved being here as an intern this summer, I have loved being a part of the staff! I am
excited to resume my journey at BBC as a member of the congregation
with my family.

I am incredibly grateful for my amazing summer here at Benson Baptist Church! My internship here has been a redemptive experience, after a not-so-great experience interning last summer.
The community at Benson has been so welcoming and uplifting as it allowed me the opportunity to explore a vocational calling to ministry. Vacation Bible School has always been the highlight of my summer since I was in middle school. Stellar did not disappoint, and it was so much fun and definitely my high.
If you couldn’t tell by my facial expressions in-person while watching River, I did not like hearing and seeing myself on the TV. River is such a wonderful unique part of Benson Baptist, but I personally cringe at the thought of watching myself on the screen.
Through it all, I am grateful for this grace-filled space where I was able to better discern my vocation, and the people who surrounded and supported me throughout the journey.
