Day 6, 7, 8 & MI!!!
Time sure did get away from us! We apologize for not blogging the last three days of our trip. We had a very busy schedule. It was tough finding time to sit down and blog.
On day 6, team 1 started their day off back at St. Paul's House. It was always a pleasure to serve at St. Paul's! Team 1 spent their afternoon at Encore Senior Center where they did Meals on Heals. Team 2 spent their morning at Yorkville Common Pantry. Both teams had free time after 2:30pm. Individuals split into smaller groups. Individuals chose to do different activities. The evening consisted of Chelsea Market, Tigers Game, and Wicked!!! This was a much needed relaxing evening for everyone.
On day 7, it was team 2's turn to serve at St. Paul's in the morning. Team 2 then served at Carter Burden in the afternoon. Team 1 spent their morning at Yorkville Common Pantry. Team 1 had previously worked hard to prepare grocery bags of food for different sized families. Today, team 1 was able to give out those grocery bags of food during the food pantry. Both teams met up for a delicious lunch at Sara Beth's. The two teams then headed to Central Park. Time was spent doing life tokens and singing! We all then met up for a picnic in the park with people from Communitas. Various activities took place and everyone had a great time! After Central Park, some team members decided to venture to Time Square to do some souvenir shopping!
Day 8 was our departure day! The team took a tour of NBC Studios and enjoyed their last lunch together as a team before heading to LaGuardia Airport. The team arrived back in MI safe and sound Saturday evening around 9pm!
The team would like to thank everyone for all the prayers and support. This mission trip would not have been nearly as successful without all of you! We especially want to thank the people of NYC and all the places that we were blessed to be able to serve at for welcoming us with open arms. A special special special thank you goes out to Communitas!!
Pictures will be uploaded very shortly! We can not wait to share all of our pictures with all of you.

Day 5!
Once again, both teams got a fairly early start this morning! Team 2 had to be ready at 5:30am and Team 1 had to be ready by 7:30am. We all feel so blessed to be able to be the hands and feet of God in NYC!
Team 2 started their morning really early! They headed right to St. Pauls. After St. Pauls, the team went to Encore Senior Center. While at Enocre, they served the people of NYC by doing Meals on Heels. After a busy afternoon at Encore, the team went to Good Companions. Team 2 had previously served at St. Pauls and Good Companions. Team 2 truly enjoyed talking to old friends at the two places that they have previously served at. Team 2 had a very busy day! Team 2 rounded out their night at the Mayes' Communitas Community Group. The team enjoyed hearing the stories of many individuals who regualry attend the Community Group.
Team 1 started their day off at Yorkville Common Pantry. Yorkville offers several services to the people of NYC. Most of the team worked on preparing the food pantry, which is open to the people of NYC on Thursdays! The team had a great time working at the pantry. Our team enjoyed conversing with other people who were serving along sideus. It was great to learn about others who have the same passion as we do to serve the people of NYC. Team 1 then headed to the New York City Rescue Mission. The New York City Rescue Mission is amazing! They provide two meals a day to men who come in off of the street. They also have a recovery program where they house and provide three meals a day to residence. The New York City Rescue Mission even has a shelter! While at the Rescue Mission, we found out some very exciting news. The Rescue Mission is adding on three floors and opening up their services to women. While at the New York Rescue Mission, we were very touched by two individuals. One man was a resident and the other was a volunteer. Both men witnessed the horrific events of Spetember 11th. One man was a volunteer fire fighter and the other man worked in one of the tours. These two men told us their stories and expressed how they will never forget the things that they say that day. They will forever be effected by the events. We ask for you to keep them in your prayers. Team 1 then enjoyed a relaxing evening!
We appreciate all the continued thoughts and encouragements. Please continue to keep our health and safety, along with the people of NYC in your prayers!
