On Sunday night, we gave each family group a fabric swatch. Margaret Busey was a devoted blanket maker for children in need, and as we dedicated this trip to her memory, it seemed fitting to use a quilt square.
When we gathered for worship on Friday evening, we called each family group to the front as we prayed a blessing for the homeowners and families we worked with this week. When each family group came forward, they added their square to a larger 'quilt,' symbolically representing the greater things we can do together. One of the families joined us -- I'm glad our youth got to worship with the family.
Larry, camp director at the Red Springs mission camp, closed our morning devotion time today with a prayer of blessing for us. After last night's worship, that was a great way to end our experience before we hit the road. Now that we're heading home, I pray that our youth will continue to grow and process this great experience, growing into stronger followers of Christ, continuing to do 'greater' things.
