Old Union 2024 Mission Trip - July 26, 2024

 Friday - July 26, 2024 Today is Friday!  TGIF.  This day started out rather cloudy with a mist hanging over the surrounding mountain tops.  And ...oops, I'm sorry, this is starting to sound like a broken record.  I'm beginning to think a lot of mornings start off like that around here in Buckhorn.  I was hoping to see the sun come up over the mountain tops just once.   During breakfast, Pastor Peter showed us a video on his lap top of his motorcyle ride at the "Tail of the Dragon" in TN while he was on his sabbatical a few years ago.  It is a very windy road, much like what we have been driving on this week in Buckhorn. This morning we woke earlier than the other days to be ready to leave at 8:30 a.m.  A few of us stayed behind and went down to the gym while the others went up to Chevies, KY to the building we had worked at on Monday to pick up the remainder of the boxes, the ones leftover from yesterday.  The delivery team consist...

Old Union 2024 Mission Trip - July 23 - Tuesday

 Tuesday - July 23, 2024 How y'all doing.  Welcome again to our Mission Blog! We woke to another cloudy day in Buckhorn, KY.  While some of us were up at 7 a.m. there were a few of us, hint-hint, that didn't wake until 9 a.m.  I wonder Clark, who that was?  Since we didn't need to drive to our work destination, that had caused some of us to sleep in.  We only had to walk down a short side walk to get to the pavilion, that is why some of us were able to sleep in. Over breakfast, we learned Pastor Peter worked as a DJ in a country musuc station in Somerset County (WVSC -- the Voice of Somerset County) in his younger years.  We have also learned that Carl likes white-water rafting. Getting back to our duties for today, our responsibilities were working with the local children from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  The children ranged in age from 5 years of age to 17 years of age.  For some of us, working with children was new and sometimes challenging for us a...

Old Union 2024 Mission Trip - July 25, 2024

 Thursday - July 25, 2024 Hello y'all, It's Thursday and it's a special day!  It's somebody's birthday.   But let me start from the beginning. It started out as a misty,  cloudy, dreary day in Buckhorn, KY.  Don't dispair though as the sun came out around 9 a.m. and the day was off to a great start!  While we were enjoying our breakfast, Peter was still trying to fix his phone.  Dave, Lorene, Mary Rae, Geoffrey, and Sally put together today's crafts while I was eating breakfast. The crafts consisted of a Holy Water Spirit Bubble Machine and a cross with the Bible verse from Thess. 5:11, "Encourage one another and build each other up."  That's the Old Union Presbyterian Church motto. Oh, I forgot to mention earlier in the week, Mary Rae met up with us on Tuesday night.  Why did she show up so late?  Well, she was attending the New Wilmington Mission Conference, in New Wilmington, PA which ran from Friday to Wednesday.  Mary Rae ...
