I'm still Posting!

It's been a day since most of our group returned home uneventfully (if you count our Dunkirk-like retreat in the Santo Domnigo airport uneventful).  In past years, the blog has ended when the trip ended.  Not this year.  I am going to try and keep it going this year.  I would love to have the blog be a spot where we can share thoughts and communications with the larger DR Projects team.  Those who went this year, those who have gone in past years, and those who have supported us.  So please spread the word (as I will in other media.  I want to discover the best way to continue our work, and this may be it.  So get used to the idea that I will be posting every day for a while.

There was a small reunion this morning at the Church of Christ at Dartmouth in Hanover.  Mandy, Rob and Amy all showed up to help lead worship:  Amy in the choir, Mandy opening the service with a wonderful reflection on the trip, and Rob preaching the sermon he wrote on the plane while being elbowed in the middle seat.  But it became a reunion when we looked out and there was Nicole in the pew!  Yay!  Next week at CCDC, we are hoping for a bigger reunion.  We would like to invite as many DR friends as possible,  Mandy will be preaching on the transformative power of service and discipleship, and maybe Nicole will sing.  But we need to get as many of the other students to be willing to back her up -  at the very least in the pews, but better as her backups.  We'll find the right piece -  Nicole's working on that. Maybe something gospelly.  After church, we hope to present the first draft of our slide show.  I need some volunteers to help with editing and scoring.  Any takers?

So if anyone's out there reading this, get ready for some daily observations that help us reflect fully on an amazing week, and keep the process going as we support our sisters and brothers in the DR. Stay tuned.
