St. Louis 2016 - Disciples Summer Mission

6/27/2016

 
Picture
Our annual youth summer mission trip is off to a good start. Thankfully the drive is much shorter this year than last as we are in St. Louis. We have joined 18 other churches from Colorado, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri to serve the people of St. Louis. Besides a minor glitch of going to the wrong place for dinner tonight (must check zip codes when putting addresses into your gps) we trip has been uneventful so far. The dorms at Washtington University are super nice and. 

A little bit of background about this mission trip. This is an organized, yearly Disciples of Christ event that began in 2011 with nearly 80 in attendance. We joined the gathering 3 years ago. Each year this mission event has grown and last year it was split into two separate locations because of the high interest. Once again, this year there are two sites: St. Louis this week and San Marcos, TX next week. There are over 200 of us working together here in St. Louis.

After checking into our dorm, we headed to Forest Park for a BBQ dinner and a large group picture. From there we went to Union Avenue Christian Church for worship were we washed each other's hands and sharing communion. Flat Jesus was able to participte as well!

We will be working at a home the next 3 days painting the exterior of the home and a couple of the rooms in the interior. Can't wait to see waht the next few days have in store for us!
