In case you missed the mission moment on Sunday, or just wanted to hear it again: THANK YOU! The youth mission trip was an absolute blast; we learned and grew so much. And it could not have happened without our amazing church behind us. A special thank you to the amazing men who stayed up all night and participated in the antics of the overnight lock-in: Dan Dickinson, Bobby Anderson, and Jess Posey! Thank you for your Nerf guns, commentating, referee-ing (is that the word??), and willingness to join in the fun! 
And a special thank you for all those who donated their time, money, and prayers to make this possible. Thank you parents for making sure the youth made it on time, had what they needed, and joining at the last minute! Thank you to all who asked how they could help. And, of course, thank you to the amazing ministries that we had the honor of serving: Martha’s Table, Women Giving Back, and Ronald McDonald House Charities. It has begun an amazing partnership, and multiple youth have asked when we’ll be serving again!
It was an unexpected blessing to join with Bethany Korean UMC in Ellicott City, MD, and the friendships that were formed are further proof that the church is alive and well. The future of the church is very bright. And on behalf of Chaewon, HyeonSu, Hannah, Katharine, Shea, Jessica, Mira, Sophia, Ms. Linda, and myself, thank you, from the bottoms of our hearts. God has done so much, and we can’t wait to see what happens next!
