Old Union 2024 Mission Trip - July 24, 2024

 Wednesday - July 24, 2024 Hello y'all! Once again we started the day with an awesome group of Buckhorn kids.  Today, our group was half the size, but still the 12 kids that came were willing participants in crafts of cross beads and suncatchers.  Pastor Peter started the day with energizing songs, such as the song "I've Got Joy!"  The kids loved when Pastor Peter sang it in a giant voice, a tiny voice, and a normal voice.  He also taught the kids a song that started loud then slowly got softer and softer, though at the end of every stanza the kids (as well as the adults) shouted loudly "Tarzan of the Apes".  I think the whole Buckhorn valley was ringing with the shouting.  He also taught the kids a song about a "Moose"-with various names, "the moose called Bob was such a slob, the moose called Bruce he liked to drink juice etc.   For these songs, the kids tried, as well as the adults, to clap and learn the hand motions.  This got the ch...

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 ...

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...
