SUNDAY IN WORSHIP AND IN NEW ORLEANS
THE GANG HAD A GREAT TIME TODAY!!!
We went to worship at Main Street U.M.C. in Waveland this morning and met their new Pastor, Heather Hensarling. She gave a great sermon and we enjoyed it very much. The music was fabulous too! Then we went into New Orleans for a fun day before we begin work tomorrow. Many of us are anxious to get to work helping the homeowners but it's also nice to have some team time bonding and having fun.

Here we are on the playground at the church. They are doing construction in the front of the church replace the steeple, which was knocked off during Hurricane Katrina.
Chris, Henry, Chloe, Sarah and Gary were having fun after church, while Todd & Colley went to the Audubon Aguarium .
