Today some of us got to serve breakfast to the youth at New Horizons.

The team started off the early morning with an orientation meeting in the park complete with breakfast from Top Pot Doughnuts. The team then attended Sunday service at Coastline Church, currently located in the church’s coffee shop. The team got to listen to a sermon from Pastor Brice Sanders on the end of Matthew 28, which encouraged the congregation to align the hope and vision for their lives with God’s will rather than their own.

As with every morning this week we had the opportunity to send a small team over to the New Horizons Youth Shelter where they were able to cook and serve a meal to about 30 youth and young adults who were experiencing homelessness in the heart of Seattle. It was a great opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a very practical and meaningful way!

One of the jobs we were also asked to help Coastline church with this week was cleaning up the tree planters outside the front doors of the new building. As you can see here some of the men on the team were putting in new mulch to spruce up the look of the street!

As some more of the team went to New Horizons on Wednesday morning the rest of the team stayed back at Ballard Church where we are lodging for the week and did a deep clean. We had teams vacuuming the whole church, others cleaning all the bathrooms, some cleaning windows and mirrors, and still others cleaning every high contact touch area. That place is so clean now!

After a great afternoon of picking up trash the team was able to stand proud in front of their big pile of trash that was collected. Great work to everyone for working hard and getting it all picked up!

To start our recreation day on Thursday the team went to underneath the Fremont Bridge to the infamous Fremont Troll. This troll was an art installation and has turned into a large tourist attraction. It was a great time watching the team climb all over the sculpture and have a fun time!

For our final day at New Horizons, we made biscuits with sausage and eggs. All the leftovers we had from previous days serving at the shelter will be used for breakfast tomorrow when there is no team signed up to volunteer. It was a such a blessing to have the opportunity to partner with an incredible organization and serve breakfast for the homeless youth of Seattle all week!
