New York City

The youth group I volunteer with at my church is taking 180 high school students to New York City for the next 4 days and I'm one of the lucky winners that gets to go with!  We have two double decker buses and a full motor coach that will hold those 180 plus 40 volunteers!  It'll be a fun long weekend as I'll have about 15 girls and we'll decide what we want to do and where we want to go!  On Friday half of our full group will be going to see the broadway play, In the Heights which just happens to star a friend of mine from High School, Courney Reed!  This trip is totally a relationship building trip, and some/many of the students have never set foot in our youth group before.  I like the concept of having an event that has no planned teaching, team building or schedule. The beauty is that all of those things will have the opportunity to happen organically.  I'm so looking forward to getting to know these girls better, having lots of laughs and trekking around the city.  Wish us luck and if you feel led- please pray for our safety and the opportunities I will get to have deeper conversations.
