D.C. Mission, Day 1

Our rebuilding team members have begun to arrive on Columbia Road. Roland and Rose Ann, arrived with Debbie and Eric yesterday. JoEllen and Tom are on their way today as are Marcia and Jim.

We spoke with Pastor John in the afternoon, and then in the evening we had dinner with Melissa, an active member of the congregation, and spoke at length with her about the recent and distant history of the church which extends back to the beginnings of last century. Several times this congregation has been severally challenged; each time, by the grace of God, they have rebounded stronger than before.

As you can see from the photo, Spring has sprung in Washington. We've had rain and a little chill in the evening, but nothing like the weather we left in upstate New York. Really wishing you all were here!
