Mission Possible - Thursday

At devotions on trips, we each share our high and low of the day and where we saw God. This is a sampling of Thursdays devo. It was a busy day for us today. All of our travel groups did different things. Some of us did manual labor, others painted faces and filled water balloons, some stocked food pantry shelves, others learned about addiction and recovery. Most of us got lost on the road. But all of us made it back to the church for our closing worship service and ice cream sundae party.
