First Day in Lexington

We had a beautiful first day here in Lexington. We first went to worship and heard about the parable of the Good Samaritan. After a quick lunch we spent the sunny afternoon in the UK Arboretum State Botanical Garden.

When we returned to the church the youth participated in a housing simulation. In the simulation they were given a scenario that represented different life situations, and then they were told to go to different agencies to acquire things like like housing, employment, health services, bus passes, daycare, and social services. They learned about the various challenges and obstacles people face everyday trying to navigate the different organizations and agencies.

After small group time, where we read the parable of the talents, we had worship led by one of the small groups. Then we had a crowd favorite event, cookies with Ken. Finally, it was off to bed!

We are ready to wake up and get going with our first full day of service tomorrow!
