This week was our semi-annual Beyond Shelterwood event. The school week was cut short following Tuesday to focus on building community; together and beyond campus. On Wednesday and Thursday we divided into groups and ventured out for various service projects. On Wednesday, I worked with 4 kids and 1 other staff raking leaves. We stopped by the homes of two different Doulos staff and bagged about 30 trash bags full of leaves, making multiple trips back to property to empty the leaf bags. On Wednesday, I worked with a different group of folks going downtown Kansas City to Hope City. Hope City is Christ-centered soup kitchen with a prayer room. Hope is an extension of the International House of Prayer which provides continuous worship during the hours the mission is open. Our task at Hope was simple but rewarding. We cleaned up the kitchen for the staff following the community lunch serving.
We concluded the week on Friday by dividing into teams for some fun competition. Relay races, hot dog eating competition, and even a food fight (I conveniently avoided the food fight).
