Last week 7 youth and 2 adults from Calvary went on a mission trip to Philadelphia. We partnered with “The Philadelphia Project ” and met up with 2 other churches from Pennsylvania to spend 3 days working in the community. Our project was building a retaining wall out front of Ms. Williams house along with installing laminate flooring in 2 of her rooms. We also were able to fully clean her kitchen and bathroom while we were there. We did accomplish a lot in 3 days, but it wasn’t all about the work. We made stops for ice cream and water ice, went to a community pool to cool off, played “survivor” style games, and had time for fellowship with the other groups. Each night we spent time in “club”, a worship environment where our students learned what it means to enter “into the wilderness” and how even in wilderness seasons in our life God is there with us.
