Three weeks in and we're still going strong. The week started out with a talk with Jonathan LLoyd and our weekly service at Paxton ministries. Our House Mom for the week, Pam Arnold, was our mighty chauffer. Tuesday brought Chris Epp and his powerful teaching on the Holy Spirit. We all learned a lot about ourselves and our relationships with God. Wednesday was more of the same. It was a great experience. Thursday brought Jonathan back to us for an introduction on spiritual disciplines. Then we were off to serve at New Hope and Project share. What a week and it wasn't over yet! Friday we traveled to Philadelphia for our Urban experience. We served at the Circle of Hope thrift shop that afternoon and bustled off to Mim Stern's house of international students. Woo! Saturday we were able to help with a block party for a local elementary. We painted faces and had a blast. We spent the evening doing a scavenger hunt across the city! What an experience! Today, Sunday, the team met with the Shalom House members to learn a little about their mission. After a long afternoon at the Museum of Art, we headed over to Circle of Hope at Broad and Washington for evening service.
It has been a crazy and amazing week full of unforgettable experiences. I think we're all ready for some sleep. :)
Praise and Prayer:
*Kristen is feeling better! She's having a little back trouble, but her cold is gone!
*We've survived Philadelphia thus far
*Jim and Sonia Bridge (our leaders) made it to Honduras safely! Pray for their support and their ability to find us our housing :)
*Pray for the continued fundraising efforts of both the Bridges and our group.
Shalom!
