Christ Memorial Trip Blog

Your team has been amazing. They have been wonderful at serving this church and community and sharing the love of Jesus.

Please spend hours asking them about their time in ministry and their time with the Lord. They will have plenty to share with lots and lots of pictures.

Many showed up in this abandoned shopping area for church this morning. The team was able to give out many coats and blankets. So many were so thankful.

The new nursery is completed walled in and electric is run. All this in one day.

30 kids showed up for Pizza & Wii. The team played games, did crafts and loved them.

Colleen's office is completly painted and ready for carpet. Before long she will have a wonderful area to do her ministry.

Mounds of books are being categorized and shelved.

Approx. 15 teens are enjoying a pork BBQ dinner and games.

The team is preparing the walls for primer and paint tomorrow.

The office renovation continues with work on the phone system.

The team did a fantastic job bringing order to this supply closet.

All of this came out of one 10 x 10 foot room!

Boxes of donated gifts are being organized for future distribution.

Hey Everyone,
The team has arrived and ministry is happening. Just after 11 am the first round of the team arrived. After spending some time getting a tour of the building and a brief overview of the schedule the team took a break for lunch.
Since lunch it has been a buzz of activity. Colleen, our host ministry director, took us on a tour of the neighborhood just to give us a taste of life here in Charm City.
After returning to the church the teams divided to tackle many projects. This afternoon Dori and her team are sorting through an entire classrooms of gifts, plumbing supplies, sports equippment etc. They will be building shelfs and reorginizing all these supplies so the ministry here can more effective use them.
Cindy and her crew are beginning to empty Colleens office for the remodel.
And Dave and his team are beginning to process the creation of the new nursery.
Thanks for checking in and please feel free to comment on this blog. We will pass your comments on to the team each night.
