Monday in Atlanta

Central Presbyterian Church

Lunch?

Service with a smile

Getting the buns ready!

Loaves and Fishes, and FCLYC

Monday brought challenges with heat, but so much opportunity to spread Agape, Atlanta style.
Our three work groups were dispersed to three different work sights. Action Ministries, a luncheon service  much like our own Community Table that served women and their children. Hapeville Care Community needed some TLC in the way of painting homes for elderly and financially challenged people. Our third location today was Loaves and Fishes. A soup kitchen that serves a challenged community. Our youth represented our church so very well. Shining faces, eager to be a part of what God asks us to be. The afternoon took us all to the Dr. Martin Luther King Center. There we toured the boyhood home of Dr. King. The National Historic site that houses the MLK Center, across the street from the Ebenezer Baptist Church, is a testament to Dr. King and his work. Our evening was a combination of reflection and discussion, on the challenges of being without a place to call home. We celebrated Jack Pike's birthday this evening with cake and song. The evening wouldn't have been complete without finding a way to watch the Blackhawks take the cup!

Dr Kings boyhood home

Today was a long day that prepared us for the rest of the week. We now know Atlanta a little better, we know some of the friends that call the sidewalks around the church home. We know a little more about ourselves too.

The painters!

A fence always needs a little more paint
