Mission Trip Pics

This year we had 6 people from St. Paul's attend Group Workcamps "Week of Hope" in St. Louis. Our theme for the week was:

"Let us not mearly say that we love each other, let us show the truth by our actions." 1 John 3:18

Here is our group when we arrived on Sunday. Ryan Laymon, Mary Parsons, Molly Parsons (back), Jennifer Walker (front), Courtney Monzyk, and Molly Dohm.

When we arrived Sunday night we were all split up into different work crews. Can you find the familiar St. Paul's face in the crew pictures below?

Ryan (look you can see his best side) :-)

We did a variety of work projects from 9am-3pm Monday-Thursday.

Pull weeds to beautify downtown St. Louis.

Courtney, I don't think anyone could smile bigger than you about pulling weeds.

Sort clothes at a homeless shelter's "Everything is Free Store"

EEW, Worms! Good thing you had those huge protective work gloves on!

Molly, try not to laugh. Hey, you guys are posed just like that one couple in the famous painting.

Hmmm, did you plan that :-)

We all had a fantastic time! Here is our cheer:

LOVE - OUT - LOUD - LOVE - OUT - LOUD - YEA - GOD!

Personal testimonies from us will be coming soon, we will also be speaking during the childrens time in worship on Sunday August 10 and 17.
