Just reading my Instagram posting about our church’s youth mission trip, and there was not a word about how hot it must be in North Carolina. Just words about bagging vegetables in a food pantry, learning about a church whose worship every Sunday is preceded by a few hours of gardening to provide fresh food for the needy, or a church that’s mission is to minister to the homeless, especially the LGBTQ community who have few sources of inclusiveness.
I don’t know about you, but I would treasure an adventure for my teenager that exposed him/her to programs that follow what we hear every sabbath, as we sit cool and comfortable in our air conditioned, cushioned, isolated pew in churches all over the country…Jesus reminding us about the Least of These!!
My recall, as I look back over my life, is I had that exposure. And reading about their experiences, I wonder why I’m not there!!
