On June 22nd, 14 youth and adults left behind the comfort of their homes, their families, their friends, and their routines to spend the week sleeping on a floor, with almost no control over when they eat, shower, work, and rest. And that is easily the least impressive part of our week. 
 
God's Holy Spirit is at work in and through the people of Long Island as the recovery from SuperStorm Sandy continues. We simply had the privilege of being a small piece of what is already happening there. We got to meet, talk with, and help some extraordinary people and organizations. 
How did we see God at work?
Who did we meet and why were we so moved by their stories?
What is so special about Long Island? 
In order to hear our reflections on these questions and our other experiences from our mission trip, you need to be in worship this Sunday, July 7th when the youth and adults proclaim their message, “The Reckless Love of God." 

Response:
"While certainly an individual can work with God's Love to give back, it is clear that 'many hands make light work'. In a group, you are able to learn, grow, accomplish and support each other. It seems there are many opportunities to see God's love in others and show God's love through oneself.  Congratulations on a wonderful experience." - Sandy
