Day #210

July 29, 2014

This morning found twenty adults and youth from three congregations loading luggage and themselves into five vehicles for a mission/youth trip to Washington, DC. After several hours on the road, we arrived at the church that graciously welcomed us and helped us make it our “home” for the next four days. Quickly unloading the vehicles, we headed into “town” for a walk around the Mall at night and a tour of the Washington Monument.

This 555 foot, 5 1/8 inch tall obelisk is located on an almost direct line between the Lincoln Memorial

and the Capitol Building
with one mile in each direction.

A quick 60-70 second elevator ride to the top of the monument allows an overwhelming view of the city. It’s almost easy to forget its purpose, as a memorial to the man who helped form the direction of our country.

What adventures does the city have in store for us? How will we serve? Can’t wait to find out.

Blessings.
