Departure from Abernathy and Arriving Safe At Home

Editor Note: This post will be short and sweet.  


Good afternoon, Framily, 

    Our team began the morning at 7am on this Shrek themed Saturday. 

    We packed, we ate bagels and leftovers for breakfast, we cleaned four main areas of the church (Showers, Guys Room, Girls Room, and the Fellowship/Dining Hall) and departed "the swamp" before 10am.

Editor Note: Morning watch was a prayer to send us on our way. It was a poem called Dazzling by Jan Richardson: A Blessing for Your Journey. It reminded us that this journey to Asheville was a blessing that has to stay there. It gave us a challenge to bring the blessing down the mountain, in other words be fishers of people. 

For those of you interested she has a book titled Circle of Grace: A Book of Blessings for the Seasons.


We ate lunch at Cookout about halfway enjoying one last meal with one another on this journey. 


We arrived safely back to the church ready to take a nap when we arrive to our separate homes.

Sunday the 19th - Travel and Introduction

Image
 Hi everyone! Welcome to the first blog post of our July Mission Journey team.  We started our day off in worship together at FVUMC this morning before heading out to western NC. Our first stop on this journey included food (very important) and today’s blog authors had Moe’s, 10/10 review! A few hours later we arrived at Abernathy UMC with a warm greeting and some enthusiastic team building and camp songs. We learned many things about friends old and new, including what kitchen utensil they would be and their favorite ice cream flavor. Shortly after we gathered for some classic burger and dogs prepared by generous members of the church. We enjoyed free time filled with games and laughter before locking in to be educated on tool safety for our access work where we’ll be helping the community with construction and yard work later this week. Following that we had an impactful conversation on how to have meaningful conversations with our new neighbors, leading into a group discuss...

Monday June 15- Day 2--Awareness and Ice Cream

  Good evening, Framily,       Today, w e began the day with Morning Watch, which is a time to spend time with God in prayer and through Scripture to center. This will be something we do each morning.       Following this we walked around Haywood Street, in the city of Asheville. Rebekah, our guide, took us around downtown Asheville. She showed us how the less fortunate got their essential needs and how they live each day.       Also, we stopped outside churches to hear about how they helped the community. Some of the churches let people heal physically and mentally while others help provide clothes and they make sure that nobody goes hungry. Below: "FROG's" Group walking in front of one of many murals.       As we explored, we noticed how "targeted" some rules were. In the library and Pack's Park, they have rules about having to have good hygiene to be able to use the spaces. Also, in several other pla...
