June 19th, we boarded the bus for a week of service and hope, faith building, and life changing experiences.
The theme for the week is "EXTRAORDINARY"! There is no ordinary with JESUS. During this week together in Kenosha WI, First Lutheran Youth will be ordinary people who God uses to do EXTRAordinary things. And we can't wait!!
Well...... we had good intentions of writing this blog everyday that we were gone so that you all could "walk" with us on this faith changing experience in Kenosha. However, the internet was hit and miss so this blog has turned into a "RECAP of Events".
Our days consisted of breakfast, morning program time, our assigned experiences (complete with sack lunches and small group daily devotions), chores, free time, the evening program, CHURCH TIME, and believe it or not....sleep! haha!
Each small group (which we had 8!) was assigned a place for the week. A few of our groups ended up with two different locations. Whether is was a nursing home, rehab center, dementia center, women's shelter, or food shelf, I can safely say that every participant grew in their faith, stepped out of a comfort zone at times, and built relationships that have changed us for the better....FOREVER!!
