Looking back and celebrating our mission trip

About forty peopled gathered for strawberry shortcake dessert at Central Baptist Church on Wednesday night. Of course that was only the dessert. The main course was the opportunity to witness a slide presentation and hear remarks from those who had traveled to Mexico on the mission trip last month.

George Rezendes prepared the presentation complete with inspirational music. I was able to share a running commentary, with help from a few team members, that helped explained some of the things we did during the week. After the show was over, each of the team members got a chance to share a memorable story to comment from their experience. Connie Jensen closed off the sharing giving silly, but very meaningful, gifts to each of the team members.

Pastor Michelle also had a gift for each of the team members. She presented us with a card with photos and the words that were shared about that person by the other team members. hen we made everyone present an honorary team member by giving them a friendship bracelet that was put together by members of the Kane family.

It was a very good night.
