Quad Cities: Day One in Davenport

Hello Parents!

We are getting ready to go to the water park but I thought I would drop a quick line:

We have been split into two ministry groups.

Dana's group is going to an adult day center in the mornings and leading Bible activities with kids at Joyful Noise Trailer Park in the afternoons. This group includes Logan, Mariah, Emily, Grace, and Elizabeth.

Brandon's group is volunteering with Salvation Army and today we cleaned, pulled weeds, and played with kids at their family rescue shelter in downtown Davenport. Tomorrow we will be helping with the Salvation Army Kids' Club by doing crafts and games in the morning and then taking the kids to a water park. This group includes Jamie, Trent, Andrew, Cierrah, Christina, Kira, and Abi.

Both groups are combined with students from other churches. On the right is a photo from the Salvation Army site this afternoon. Time permitting, tomorrow will be a photo from the other ministry group.

We are having a GREAT time and are looking forward to an evening of story sharing, fun, and hopefully a lot of sleep.

Much peace and joy,
Brandon Newton

P.S. We wanted to let you know we are staying at Grace Lutheran Church instead of St Paul. The emergency contact info is the same. Everyone is having a great time! -Dana
