The Fisher Family

The Fisher family is led by JT and an adult leader from one of the other churches, Brian. They have 10 kids in the group, but only 3 of them are La Croix kids...they are Josh Stone, Alex Stone and Mason Turner.

This group is spending the whole week between two places...one in the mornings and another in the afternoons.

They are going to O.S.C. and Oak Ridge.

O.S.C. stands for Outrageous Sports Camp and is a Youth Works run camp that runs 6 weeks throughout the summer. It is primarily aimed at ages 10-14, but some weeks they work with kids as young as 6 years old. The camps serve as an outreach tool for the community and focuses on a different sport each week. Through teaching and interaction, the goal is to show Christ to these young people. The sport for this week...football! The boys are in heaven...JT, on the other hand, has a really sore shoulder:-)

Oak Ridge Center is a nursing home, which also provides short-term rehab services. This family group is serving with the center - where there are great relational ministry opportunities. Whether it's a simple "hi" or sitting down one-on-one and hearing about their lives, the residents just appreciate someone taking the time out of their day to spend it with them.
