Here are a few images from a selection of folders from the month of September 2007.
Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve some night photography!
This last collection of Saint Paul Mission Trip photo were taken by other people, but I’m not sure what day they were taken. Enjoy!
It truly was an incredible trip and transformative trip! If you ever have a chance to go, GO! You will not regret it. Not even when you can’t sleep, it is 2 in the morning, and you are sleeping on an air mattress on a concrete floor. I absolutely mean it!
Here are some photos from the day coming home from the Mission Trip:
And just like that, we were back in Iowa! The Cyclone State! A successful trip! Perhaps my favorite week of the year! One more set of pictures tomorrow and then you’ll have to track me down is you want to hear about the mission trip… or will you…
Pictures from the last working day of the Saint Paul Mission Trip:
Day 4 of the Mission Trip is always highly emotional. The large group worship service ends with a foot washing ceremony. Then church time is usually very emotional as people begin to realize that the lives that they’ve touched and who have touched their lives, they won’t be seeing those people tomorrow. It is just an incredibly peaceful and serene evening. One of my favorites from the mission trip.
Here are a few of the photos from Day 0 and Day 1 of the recent mission trip to Saint Paul (I didn’t take all these photos, even though I wish I could be at multiple places at the same time):
As usual, it was an incredible trip! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I love talking about the mission trip, even though most people get sick of hearing about it.
On Father’s Day the Methodist Men held their first car show. For a first time event, it was quite the success! There were 7 cars there and almost everybody in church came out and looked at and gawked and asked questions about the classic cars. Next year I anticipate getting quite a bit more cars. I have some plans for that.
Here are a few pictures from the event:
There are more pictures from the event. You can see them by clicking on the link below:
The event made me wish that the Bennetts still had the old milk truck from… might have been before I was born.
By the time that this publishes, I should be on the road to Saint Paul with 3 other “adults” and 14 youth from my church for a mission trip.
If you are in the Minnesota, there is a chance you might be able to join us for a community dinner on Thursday night. You’d have to text me for details if that interested you.
However, if you aren’t in Minnesota, the best way to follow this adventure is to get on your phone. Get on Instagram. Follow @boonefumcyg. If you don’t have a phone, but do have a computer, you can follow us at the following URL:
Now there isn’t a ton of time to be dinking around with the social medias when you are doing
All the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can.
However, there will be a handful of pictures posted each day, I’d guess. You might even see sweet pictures like the following:
Also, on Sunday, July 2, in between services, the members of the mission trip will be giving their testimony about the mission trip. In Fellowship Hall. So if you’re interested, you should show up for that.
This collection of NATURE losers was taken at Ledges.
I got off work early on a Friday and headed to Ledges. I thought that I had insect repellent in my trunk, but I was wrong. I forged on anyways. I got absolutely lit up by mosquitoes. It was not a fun experience. Then when I came out of the remote woods (I was off trail hiking) I was greeted by 3 kids from the Youth Group. Their picture was to show me their excitement for the mission trip. It is getting really close now!
