Stephanie recalled for those in worship at Crescent Hill Sunday about the final worship that she and Ellen participated in during the November Guatemala mission network gathering at a church camp south of Guatemala City. The worship leader, Miguel, a Guatemalan native now working with Guatemalan and other Central American immigrants in Stephanie's old presbytery, Peace River, asked worshipers to take off their shoes. He explained that shoes develop partly to protect soldiers, and a core part of partnership and relationship-building is letting down your guard and sharing more intimately with your partners. The worshipers formed a cross with their shoes - something we tried later also in Children's Fellowship - and Stephanie found this very touching. Nice job, Stephanie!

Plus - we got two more trip participants (Lowell and Ellen) (that makes six!). Welcome aboard, Lowell! Glad you'll be with us, Ellen!
