Rev. Dr. Michelle Morris
Psalm 139:23-24
We will learn about the practice of The Examen, which is an intentional reflection at the end of every day that invites us to reflect on how we have seen God at work in our lives in the day, as well as how we have served God well or not so well. Then we close with an intentional gratefulness and hope for the next day.

This will be an AMAZING week with a variety of cultural and mission opportunities. We will spend time with students at Escuela Integrada (the school), visit students and families in their homes, pack food bags (large bags of various groceries for families we will visit), install ecostoves and water filters, and a recent need of some construction at Ahava, one of the afterschool ministries. One of the nights we will do a family night, where families from the school will join us for pizza (their favorite!), craft activity and of course, lots of fun! This is a highlight of the week as it is awesome to get to know families as well as staff from Escuela Integrada.
