Today we started our Home Trip Adventure at the Atlanta History Center and Cyclorama. Students got to see the Battle of Atlanta, the Texas Locomotive from the Great Locomotive Chase, and see many of the exhibits at the AHC. However, we left more to see on their next visit. 

The Savannah Spring Term trip for 7th grade is off to a wonderful start! Here are a few highlights from today. For more, head over to the NCCS Spring Term 2022 Facebook Group...

Philippians 4:4 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say rejoice." The 8th graders are rejoicing in gorgeous Charleston, South Carolina!

Our day started before the sun came up in the parking lot of school. After a long day of traveling we drove over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge that connects Charleston with Mt. Pleasant. The Ravenel Bridge is the third longest cable-stay bridges in the Western Hemisphere....

What do 23 students and their chaperones do when they have 500,000 square feet of museum space to themselves? You play "Night at the Museum" with cockroaches from Madagascar and corn snakes and millipedes and blind fish. Then you watch tornadoes form and make paper cones race in wind tunnels (Noah P. beat me every time with his spiral design)...

Day 3 started early for the Spain team: we took a short drive into Granada to the Alhambra this morning. Walking through the art-covered fortress, we learned the history of its original Islamic construction and the addition of the palace itself by Charles V.... 

Man alive! Waking up was rough because yesterday was non-stop action! Today has been no different, and we are glad of it! We made it to breakfast, perhaps with a little more bedhead and some slippers spotted, but we made it!

After chowing down, we headed to our morning session where we parked ourselves in Colossians to be reminded about Jesus, our only righteousness, who took on sin because of God's great and deep love for us. We heard that God loves us like He loves Jesus because of Jesus' work on the cross....

Today was our last full day on the road. We woke up in Flagstaff after a full day at the Grand Canyon and loaded up to head back to Las Vegas. After a quick lunch stop at In-n-Out for a burger, we finished up the drive and arrived in Fabulous Las Vegas.

We had a little bit of free time for swimming at the hotel...

Today we went to downtown Woodstock to a cooking class. In this class we made strawberry lemonade, crackers, lemon bread, and a charcuterie board. We were all split up in to 4 different groups where we all created a masterpiece....

Wednesday brought a unique challenge for the Baseball Orlando team. Wake up time for the 10 a.m. game was 5:30, as we drove to Bradenton. The team was coming off a tough loss the day previously and did not get into the rooms until late Tuesday evening. The team responded with 15 runs and incredible energy to win 15-2! Nick Stinson pitched great, Michael Mullinax went deep, and the entire team played well...

On Wednesday, our team finished with the last of the cleaning of the block, heads, and valvetrain. Our new parts washer arrived late yesterday, so we assembled it and put it to good use. We all got properly dirty today with our power tools digging away at 50 years of caked-on grime. We're nearly finished with all of the cleaning....

Today was our last day in Miami, and it was probably one of the best days. We started off the day eating some eggs, bacon, and biscuits that were so good. Mrs. Peggy is really amazing! 

Then we did our morning devotion and talked for a little bit then hit the road to the food distribution center. At the food distribution center I was the pepper girl. I placed boxes of peppers on the carts and sometimes took the carts to the car.,,,

Today, our entire team worked at Calvary Children’s Home in Powder Springs, GA. We divided into multiple small groups and tackled projects from moving firewood to painting fences and organizing donated supplies....

Our day began with Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Speck handing out the goodie bags that our sweet little K4 friends made us. They took up candy donations and packed up some sweetness for our students to enjoy throughout the next few days to remind us that they were praying for us! Super thankful for sweet friends...

Happy Wednesday to all of our family and friends back home. We can’t thank you enough for your prayers and encouragement. It means the world that you are reading our blog and checking out our pictures. Our ultimate goal in all of this is to tell the story of what God has done and is doing. As Christ followers, sharing the gospel is a charge to “tell a good story.” This morning more of our crew woke up with sore muscles and a feeling of accomplishment....

The day began at the Feeding Tampa Bay food bank, where we all were instructed how to pack and sort food that would later be distributed through the city of Tampa.

There were many stations, boxing, sorting, and packing, everything was marked off so it couldn’t be resold, and the whole donation ...

The Charleston group was ready to hit the road at 9am. The bus ride involved laughter, sleep, great conversations, and more sleep. We arrived in Charleston around 4:30 pm, and we were ready for the Isle of Palm beach vibe...

Pretty sure the lesson for today is this isn't as

Well, we did it! We arrived Sunday to learning the family we were serving had changed but the project scope was the same.

We built a deck, a back stoop and underpinned their home to regulate the floor temperature during the seasons. We helped a husband and wife who are expecting a baby soon...

A few of the students got the day started with Coach Moore at 5:30 a.m. for a tough workout, courtesy of Coach Mercado! At around 6:30 a.m., some of the ladies gathered up for a yoga workout. After the workouts, we all gathered in the dining hall for breakfast. Mrs. Elizabeth really knows how to cook! We had scrambled eggs with peppers, sausage links, cinnamon rolls, bagels, and cereal.

After breakfast, we met back up in the dining hall for our church service....
