(...the rest of my last entry didn't post...)
We are split into 5 groups that go to different places each day. Our groups are mixed with the group from Connecticut and it has been fun getting to know them. Today, my group (consisting of Alex, Annie, Abigail, Maddy, Kaitlyn, Logan, myself, and Melanie from FUMC) stayed at Broad Street Ministry and helped with their daily "breaking bread" lunch program, which serves to feed anyone who may need a meal. We set up dining tables and acted as wait staff to serve food and bus tables. We all agreed it was very enjoyable to chat with and learn from the guests and help out. The idea of "Radical Hospitality" is perfectly on display with this program.
Afterward, my group hiked a few blocks with our shower stuff to a small hotel that offered to provide a few rooms for us to shower. Our whole group is showering at several different locations in the city each day. It is interesting to see the way that so many people live each day, not knowing if or where they will shower because public showers are so limited even in a big city like this.
Stay tuned for more updates on what other groups were up to today!
