2011 Denver, Colorado Mission Trip: Day 2

Hello Everybody, sorry for the long wait! We had some trouble transferring videos from laptop to laptop and uploading the videos to youtube. Lets go through a quick run through the past couple of days:

Day 2:

We went White River Rafting in Idaho Springs, Colorado.

Then we walked around in Idaho Springs to eat  dinner at a place called Buffalo along with shopping.

Went back to the hotel for a movie night, and just hung out until we had to go to bed!

Day 3:

We left our hotel,

Attended a service at ‘Faith Lutheran Church’ in Denver,

Walked around Golden, Colorado for a lunch break,

Went through a park called ‘Mountain Outlook Park’,

Arrived at the church and had pizza for dinner.

Then attended a Evening Program which is where we found out our Crew, and our Location Sites.

Day 4:

Woke up and had some breakfest,

then we all went to our different locations for the day and worked!

When we got back we hung out until supper, which was spegetti and meatballs!

Currently we are now waiting to go down and go to the Evening Program.

Great News though….THE SECOND VIDEO IS NOW UPLOADED!

Enjoy!

Also: Day 3 and Day 4 are currently in the works, along with constantly updating our Twitter! (http://twitter.com/#!/stmarkym)

Stay with us!

Wow! What a GREAT start this mission trip has been ESPECIALLY because we left in amazing weather.:)

It is now the third day we’re blogging to you, (sorry for the wait but it has been a tough time uploading the videos to you.) Good news: We have the video completed for Day  1 and you can watch it below. Even BETTER news is the Day 2 video is finished and we will upload that later today. This morning we will be leaving the hotel for a church service at Faith Lutheran Church and then possibly be hiking today. Thanks for being so patient with the updates and videos and hope you enjoy the first one! God Bless!

2011 Summer Mission Trip

 

Registration is now open! Get us your $100 deposit by Sunday, December 12 to reserve your spot.

Any student who is currently in grades 8 through 12 is eligible and encouraged to attend the 2011 mission trip. I’m excited to report that we will be venturing to Denver, CO from July 17-22 to volunteer as part of Group’s “Week of Hope.”  Group is the same organization that we have gone with to Red Lake, MN. They are a solid organization and I am happy to continue to support their work around the country. Rather than doing building projects, we will be helping communities through preparing meals, leading Vacation Bible School, or helping elderly individuals.
