A True Partnership

In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now - Philippians 1:4-5

In two weeks, we will help kids see "God's Life-saving Love." Five teens and I are excited to continue our partnership in the gospel with Grace Lutheran in Falls Church, VA.  The apostle Paul's words truly share our teen group's thoughts on our fourth mission trip out to Virginia.

We plan on blogging about our trip here daily during our trip to Washington D.C. You will see pictures of the camp, read first hand accounts from members of our youth group, and see some of the wonderful sights of Washington D.C.

God's Blessings. See you in TWO WEEKS!!

Back Home

Our last entry had a picture of a campfire. That fire lasted until they left for the airport at 4:45. An "all nighter" on the last night, are you crazy?!

After an hour delay at the Washington D.C. airport (an hour of sleep missed, we flew home. The picture below shows us flying over the Washington and the Lincoln. The ride was a smooth one, and a nap is sounding pretty good right now.

As I have promised a couple of times, there are videos coming. For sure by Monday!

Saying Goodbye

It is hard to believe that only one week ago we were three groups - Grace, Prep, and Green Bay. Now I think we all can agree that we are one. Everyone at the entire VBS had their orange shirts on to unify the entire camp of over 200 people.

The night ended with a short program where the kids told and sang what they had learned. Following this program, we had a huge party in the parking lot.

Everyone had a great time. Our teen group(s) ended the night with a campfire. Tomorrow brings an early morning wake up and a flight back home.

Thank you Grace for everything!

A Great Fourth Day at Grace

The weather today was perfect. Sunny and in the low to mid 80's. It is hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day of VBS. The time has seemed to fly by.

Today after VBS was over, we got a treat heading to Great Falls Park. The views and the short hikes were great, even if the sign entering the park wasn't. Enjoy!

Afternoon Sightseeing

This afternoon we saw the White House, two museums, and got to go up the Washington Monument. The group picture is at the base of the monument with the capital behind us!
