Heading to eat with families

The church service was very different, but worshipful and full of joy!

We are dividing into groups to go eat with different families from their church. About 40 families from the church volunteer to do this. Very neat!

Last night

The 17 of us invaded Paul’s (our fearless leader) house to eat subway last night. After celebrating Grey’s 17th birthday with a huge rice crispy treat cake, a brownie, and a mini-rave, Paul set us down and shared with us the history of St. Louis and the complexities of racial divides and poverty here. It was intriguing to say the least. The kids got an opportunity to share their own stories about Cleveland.

We ended the night last night with a chapter of 1 Peter after sharing some great “high’s” and some really funny “low’s.”

Last night, we gathered and all shared our high’s and low’s of the day. One of my high’s was the game-time at the work site after work. All work with no play doesn’t work on a youth mission trip!

1st Day

There are plenty of stories of already that will have to wait, but here are some pictures from the day:

Up and headed to work

After eating breakfast we headed to work, girls first headed to the nursing home and guys to a home to cut down a dead tree, scrape and paint a house!

Dinner was “thrown” in

Lamberts was an amazing first meal together!

Conner actually caught one in his mouth from across the room!

A Great Group

We left around 4:15 and arrived around midnight…

St. Louis… Here we come!

We leave from the church at 3:30pm. Please pray for:

• Unity
• We would love and serve one another
• God would use us to minister to others
• God would mold our hearts to be more like His
