2nd Work Day

Whew- busy day for everyone! (And I hear it was super busy in Red Lake too!) God sure is present in Duluth.

The “seek” crew was back at the Gospel Mission helping to prepare food. (Putting together sandwiches for lunch and cutting up chicken for dinner, and of course….. more potatoes!! We served more people during lunch today and had lots of time to visit with guests in the afternoon before we got picked up. We are sorry to have to leave this place, we’ve really enjoyed serving here, but we’re looking forward to serving at the rehab center tomorrow.

The “wicked” crew worked on that deck more today, painting, painting and more painting. Of course, another hike was included! This time before lunch. Duluth sure is pretty. They also were able to visit Enger Tower, a 5-story stone observation tower on top of a big hill. What a view from there!

After showers today everyone from Youthworks went to United Gospel Mission for dinner. We ate and interacted for a very short time with the other guests there. We also took some time to visit a memorial close by dedicated to 3 African-American men who were lynched in Duluth in the 1920s. That was a pretty moving experience for all of us.

When we came back from the city we had a long free time before the evening Club activities started. The youth (OK, and me….) used this time to play and interact with kids from other churches.

Tomorrow both crews go to new ministry sites. “Wicked” to United Gospel Mission and “seek” to the Chris Jensen Rehab Center.

Thanks again for your prayers….
