mission Trip 2010: Pontiac, Michigan-DAY 5

It's fun day up here in Detroit, Michigan! This is once again Abbey Horne, Megan Freeman, and Cameron Williams blogging to you about our day!
Our day started off by a lovely breakfast made by Mid Dover, George Freeman, and David Whiteside. We had bacon, eggs, cereal, and biscuits! Although we call it our fun day, we still remain serious and take the day to rest and refuel. The group took advantage of this opportunity to bond and get to know everybody better. We arrived at the Henry Ford Museum by charter bus, given free time to walk around and explore in groups. After seeing most of the exhibits, everyone joined in to go see the movie Inception in the IMAX movie theatre. It was a great movie that kept everybody on the tips of their seats anticipating what will happen next. The next stop on our trip brought us to Ann arbor, Michigan for the art fair. Our group greatly enjoyed the atmosphere surrounding the fair and even found several souvenirs to bring back home. Dinner time arrived around 6 p.m at a local restaurant called The Cottage Inn. After dinner, we shopped a little bit longer, but then it was time to regroup on the charter bus and start our journey back to the church. Once we arrived back at the church, Becky led the devotion based on the one given to us this morning by Hannah Oneil and Sarah Whiteside. During the devotion we were given the time to reflect on how we have influenced the christian community around us. As we wrote in our journals and held our prayer beads, we considered what in the community has influenced ourselves and how important it truly is to surround ourselves with christian friends. The scripture given to us tonight taught us that it is easier and wiser to live our faith out loud by surrounding ourselves with strong christian influences and friends.
