Today had 3 unique experiences. It was a long but good day. It's late now so I'll keep this one short.
Our first activity was with the team that worked at the Urban Refuge (www.theurbanrefuge.com) church building. Abi working with the painting team, while I got to mix two of my passions (serving the church and biking) by pouring a concrete pad for a bike rack outside the church. They have a lot of folk ride their bikes to church... Nice.
After lunch we threw an outdoor party for the local Boys and Girls Club of America. We prepared free food and games. It's was neat to get to serve so many kids (estimate 200), and greet each of them as they grabbed their hotdog and cup of water.
Our final event was serving at a community event in the Frogtown neighborhood of St. Paul (renamed by the folk working there as ”Godtown”). Here's a link to an article that does a better job than i can do of explaining the groups history and mission. Incredible.

Thanks again for joining us on this adventure. Your prayers mean that God works in people's lives. Right here. Real people. Changed lives. Christ glorified.
Sandy (for Abigail too)
PS. Still having issues with posting pictures from my phone. I am taking lots though. I will plan on posting a slide show when we get home.
