What a busy day we had! We began our morning worshiping with our host congregation, First Presbyterian Church of Champaign. We were lovingly welcomed and enjoyed this experience in a congregation different than our own. However we were able to recognize the similarities that come with our shared Presbyterian traditions.
We had a lunch in a local park before working there to do trash cleanup. The students filled 10 huge garbage bags as they made their way throughout the large park.
We capped off our day with a delicious pizza dinner at Papa Del's and a side splitting good time bowling at the Illini Union bowling alley.
Your students have been a blessing to this community, to the adult volunteers, and most importantly to each other. The community they have built together is unique and strong. We look forward to sharing more stories with you here in the morning before we depart, and especially once we return home!
