Day 5 8/4/13

Most of us were up before our alarms rang before 6am. I think we were all eager to get home and see our families. Another quick breakfast of cereal and cantelope, packing up and out the church gate by 7:15am. Ryan decided he was going straight home so he drove by himself. The rest of the gang piled in the van and we were on our way home. This time we decided it would be quicker (and cheaper) to not take the ferry. Instead we headed out of Brooklyn through Forest Hills and then crossed the Hudson river on the Whitestone bridge. Hooking up with I-95 north of the city we traveled to near Greenwich and then slightly north to Hartford. We stopped on the turnpike near Charlton for a quick restroom break and some eats. Again, Mike drove (he'd been driving for the entire trip) until about 25 minutes from OSLC. Katie asked, "Mike, are you alright?". Mike pulled over and asked Greg to finish the driving. We arrived back at OSLC about 11:40am, unpacked and got into the sanctuary just in time for communion. I believe we made some good friends on this trip and touched several people's lives. Our last working day Bob led a prayer with the six of us, the two 'All Hands' workers (Geoff and Abigail), Fran (the home owner) and Mary (Fran's mother). It was a powerful moment and one that won't soon be forgotten.
