Welcome to DC!

by Carmen Burke | May 5, 2024 11:18 PM

We made it to DC and got settled in. We’re excited for the week and ready to jump into ministry tomorrow! 

Welcome to DC!

Monday at Martha’s Table

by Carmen Burke | May 6, 2024 11:56 PM

Martha’s Table is an amazing organization in DC that aims to feed, clothe, and educate those less fortunate in the area. We had a great time meeting guests there and helping with their groceries. We are excited to come back on Wednesday!

Serving with Seabury

by Carmen Burke | May 7, 2024 8:56 AM

Since we split into two groups, half of us served with Seabury while the other half went on a prayer walk. We mowed, pruned, and weeded an elderly person’s front and back yard, and made friends from another ministry as we went.

Mowing the Lawn

The hill was a challenge, but we did a great job.

24/7 Worship

by Morgan Shepherd | May 7, 2024 10:46 AM

We all got the opportunity to go prayer walking along the National Mall! We started at David’s Tent, which is a 24/7 worship tent right on the Mall, in order to check it out and to set the tone and our hearts for the prayer walking we would do next. 

We were greeted by David’s Tent staff upon our arrival and got to talk, pray, and worship with the them. It was so powerful, and we are so grateful for the experience and the time of worship!

We are Praying Pelicans

by Morgan Shepherd | May 7, 2024 10:50 AM

We broke up into small groups and went off in different directions around the National Mall to pray. We had some water bottles to hand out if we came across people that may want one and were able to also talk and pray with people. We also intentionally prayed for the people and places we came across during our walk. 
A couple groups headed towards the Capitol to spend some time in prayer over our government and leadership.

Worship and Debrief on the National Mall

by Carmen Burke | May 7, 2024 11:10 AM

After a full day of ministry, we headed to the National Mall and discussed our day. We worshiped together and talked about how the Lord is moving through us during this trip.

Sorting at Kid Konnection

by Carmen Burke | May 7, 2024 11:18 AM

We spent the morning at Kid Konnection, sorting donated clothes and toys for the ministry. This will be a huge help, especially if they move to a new location!

Kid Konnection Storyboards

by Carmen Burke | May 7, 2024 10:55 PM

Kid Konnection uses storyboards to teach life lessons to kids in a way they can understand. Today we worked hard on sorting out the picture cards so that they can be reorganized and used to the best extent.

Exploring the Natural History Museum

by Carmen Burke | May 7, 2024 10:58 PM

We were thrilled to check out this Smithsonian museum, especially since one of our favorite movies was filmed there! It felt like “Night at the Museum” as we learned about different fossils and animals on God’s great Earth

The Best Chili in D.C.

by Carmen Burke | May 7, 2024 10:59 PM

We took the metro to Ben’s Chili Bowl tonight for dinner. Our burgers and bowls were delicious, and we even met the owner of the restaurant! 

After dinner, we had a great debrief meeting at Meridian Park. It’s been amazing to worship together this week!

Seabury Part Two!

by Carmen Burke | May 9, 2024 8:03 AM

We split into two groups again, and this time the group that previously served at Martha’s Table was able to serve with Seabury. We cleared up two different yards and were able to meet the thankful homeowners.

Back at Martha’s Table

by Carmen Burke | May 9, 2024 8:06 AM

Our group that worked with Seabury earlier this week was able to meet the needs of many. We loved being able to help those in need and connect with the people in D.C.

Kid Konnection

by Carmen Burke | May 9, 2024 8:07 AM

This was such a fun ministry to be involved in! We loved playing with the kids and seeing them so engaged in Bible stories and songs. Kid Konnections is making a huge difference in the lives of their students, and we were thrilled to serve with them! 

This was an excellent way to finish our ministry this week. We are grateful for our experiences and for the ways that God has worked in and through our hearts!
