Greetings and salutations,
I figured it was time for another mission trip update. Like I talked about before, I’ve been working directly with the United Methodist Church’s presence in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is in the Western PA Conference of the United Methodist Church, and in the Pittsburgh District (makes sense, eh?).
We’re going to be engaged in a variety of urban ministries while we are there, including doing some Vacation Bible School with local kids, working at soup kitchens, doing some maintenance work, etc. We’re going to get a broad range of experiencing and addressing the cities needs.
Also we’ll spend some time at Hot Metal Bridge Church, a place that is doing some great ministry using drama, arts, and reinterpreting what it means to be “church”.
For the moment that’s it. This trip is an excellent opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ, and to experience new things and have fun while doing it. Please pray about going. BTW, this pic I found online was labeled "Pittsburgh Slum"
Grace and peace,
Kevin
