Yesterday, on the 4th, we had a fun but productive day. Everyone went to St. Paul for church in the morning except the group that attended church at St. Phillips, and later joined the rest of the team at St. Paul. St. Paul hosted a water carnival in our honor including a meal, water slide and a 30 person water balloon fight. Once the festivities ended, it was time to get back to work.


After we arrived back at the hotel, we started sorting items for Skid Row, marked thirty Bibles that will be distributed at Skid Row, and finished preparing for next week’s VBS sessions. We assembled care packages for Skid Row with different health items including shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, a razor, and a washcloth.

Today, we had a work day at St. Paul which the entire group took part in. The church wanted us to clean out the garage and paint it, paint a mural on the wall along the alley, and till up the ground to make a garden for the LWML. The mural is titled “St. Paul The Lighthouse”.
