Mission Trip 2006
 
The Youth Group has returned from their mission trip. We spent several days working with the congregation of Mary Lee Clark UMC, in Oklahoma City, OK. Because of the amount of work to do at this location we were asked to spend all of our
time with this congregation. We all had a wonderful time working together, and we accomplished many wonderful projects.
 

The various projects that our youth worked on included caulking and cleaning the windows in the church, cleaning their kitchen and fellowship hall, sweeping and mopping, painting the bathrooms, and painting the sanctuary. After our three days of
work the church was cleaner, and most importantly their sanctuary which had been painted a dark white is now brighter.

We also had the joy of worshipping with the congregation on two occasions. We participated in worship on Wednesday evening, and on Sunday morning. This was a wonderful opportunity for our youth to learn about other cultures, and the way in which they worship.

While in Oklahoma City we also spent some time sightseeing. We were able to visit two shopping malls, and spent one afternoon at Frontier City, which is a Six Flags Theme Park. These locations were fun, but one of the most memorable outings was to the Oklahoma City National Memorial and
Museum. This park was constructed to remember the Oklahoma City bombing that took place in 1995. It is a beautiful and meaningful site, and should be on anyone’s must see list for Oklahoma City.
