'Tween Mission Trip - 2008
|
|
 |
| On June 20, 2008, our
‘tweens traveled to Peebles, OH where we stayed at Woodland
Altars Camp. On Saturday morning, we served our host camp by
marking a trail and providing trail clean up. Brian,
a staff member from the camp, directed our efforts and guided us on two
different trails. It was a wonderful time for us to enjoy the
beauty of God’s creation while serving the outdoor ministry which
the camp provides throughout the year. |

When our work was completed, we headed to Ripley,
OH to visit the historical home of Rev. John Rankin, a Presbyterian
minister and conductor for the underground railroad. Over 2,000
run-away slaves climbed the steep hill to the Rankin house and were
assisted on their road to freedom by the Rankin family. In
tribute to what those courageous individuals did, we climbed down and
back up the hill (all 284 steps!). |

On Sunday morning, we worshipped at First
Presbyterian Church in West Union, OH. This church was built in
1810, and its congregation and ministers were active leaders in the
anti-slavery movement. Its current members gave us a warm welcome
and invited us to join in their luncheon following worship. |

Arriving back at Heritage
Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon, we gave thanks for a safe
journey and for the opportunity to serve in ministry.
