It has been a full weekend! Eric spent three days planning for camping programs at Reynoldswood Camp (west of the city) and I had both a Starbucks training and a fabulous Urban Ministry Convocation. We visited Humboldt Park UMC, a loving and hospitable spanish-speaking congregation on the northwest side, for Sunday a.m. service, and then spent the after noon at Union Ave UMC. Union, near the old Chicago stockyards, has hosted an urban day camp the past few summers and today was the reunion! It was great fun to visit and eat with the kids and the youth group from Edison Park UMC treated us with a juggling performance! They were really amazing and they shared their talents with the little ones when they finished. Nathan, a 7-yr-old, said he was going to tell his mom to buy him some bean bags so he can practice juggling at home! Very sweet.
