We started with a walking food drive, going door to door asking for food.
Then we stood outside grocery stores for 3 hours asking for people to donate as well.
We participated in a multi-hour activity that opened our eyes to the experiences of people who may be discriminated or excluded for being 'different'.
It was a busy day and a very early wake up call of 5:30am tomorrow as we try to step into the shoes of a migrant worker.
Hopefully we will have some time tomorrow for students to reflect on our first day of service. Today we fulfilled the Corporal Work of Mercy: Feed the Hungry.
Check out the Agape Service Project for nightly reflections and reflections from previous youth groups: www.agapeserviceproject.blogspot.com
I'll leave you with a photo of our early morning running crew. These kids wanted to wake up an hour early to go for a morning run down by the bay. It was a beautiful morning for a run!
God bless from Bellingham.
