Missions in Memphis Day 2! Our youth and their adults spent the first half of the day at Room in the Inn, an organization that networks churches to house people experiencing homelessness during the winter months and then has additional permanent housing facilities for families as well as recuperative care for folks newly released from a hospital with nowhere to go. They organized and prepared care kits, helped with a few VBS decorations, and spent the morning learning about the precursors and constant random hardships experienced by people without permanent shelter. The whole group was challenged in how we consider the realities of folks and families in homeless situations. They all agree that we need to replicate the amazing work of Room in the Inn back home in Jackson! We finished our day with some birthday celebration fun at Putt-Putt and had a great time with all of the activities they had to offer! Birthday boy Aaron chose authentic Mexican for his birthday dinner and everyone left stuffed and happy! The whole group is ready for bed and another early start tomorrow!

Missions in Memphis Day 1: the youth got an early start at Mana House and helped clients with showers and hygiene distribution, served coffee, did some light landscaping, and assisted in sorting donated clothing and toiletries. The group then headed to SOS (Service Over Self) to provide some sweet, cool relief to the work crews scattered around Memphis re-roofing houses. Our football players put their training to use and tossed those popsicles up to the roofing crews with ease! Next was a trip downtown to see the Peabody ducks march up to their palace and a chance to explore the Bass ProShop Pyramid. Riding the elevator to the observation deck was a definite highlight and the views were amazing! The evening ended with a hibachi dinner to celebrate Graham’s 17th birthday! It was a great day in Memphis!
