Monday

Today we started bright and early to begin our week of mission.  We had breakfast and a quick morning glow led by Maggie, Emily, and Simon.  What will you do with the time you have?

We then split up into our work teams and went to our sites.  We are working at:

Matthew 25 Ministries - refurbishing old paint to send out to paint and decorate rebuilt homes following disasters.

Ronald McDonald House - feeding the families housed there.

Our Daily Bread - a soup kitchen in downtown Cincinnati

Hamilton Living Water - helping lead a day camp for at-risk children, youth and families within Hamilton's inner city.

Doing odd jobs and meeting with the people at a local mobile home park. 

After showers, we went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner and enjoyed fellowship together. 

We closed the night with a debrief of the day, meeting our new work teams for tomorrow, and journaling/reflection time.   We are ready to get some sleep to prepare for tomorrow.
