2006 Miracle Yearbook

Big Bird team members are known for raking leaves for members of the community every fall, but they also do much more. They also perform home repairs, clean out gutters, and work their way right into the heart of the cornmunity. ,f ' . ervice St. Francis of Assisi once said, "Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary, use words." Those powerful words neatly describe the service organizations at Cedarville this year. While they may not overtly witness to others in word or speech, they most certainly demonstrate Christ through their invaluable acts of service. This was a hallmark year for Cedarville's chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Their efforts allowed the org to actually build the first Habitat for Humanity home in Cedarville. The org didn't stop there, however. After building the house, Habitat for Humanity, according C. to senior and president Kyle Linville, "Raised several hundred dollars for Habitat for Humanity and for other houses to be built." Clearly, the organization's dedication to the Cedarville community was evident this year. Another service organization that spoke volumes through its actions was Big Bird, led by senior Dan Basham. While limited to two major work days, Big Bird's service extended to smaller, yet necessary functions around the community, namely the Young's kids festival. Basham remembers how his team "made such a good impact on the community through going to their homes and helping them with yard work and other various tasks." It is clear that size is not what determined strength this year for Cedarville's service organizations. While only two orgs were active, several helping hands and giving hearts helped to impact a community for a lifetime. .k A Habitat for Humanity volunteer Installs insulation in the roof of Cedarville's first Habitat Home. .•Washing dirt off the Habitat House.
