Day 2: Atlanta

After getting to sleep in until 7:30am (much better than 4:30 on Wednesday morning), we loaded up the van and made our way down to Atlanta. This 4 hour drive was much better than the 10 hours from the day before, but it was still driving nonetheless. Our journey to Georgia was rewarded by a stop at Zaxby's for lunch (just think awesome chicken!).

After lunch we headed toward the hotel so we could unload & unwind before heading out to dinner at The Varsity in Atlanta. Once finished some pretty darn good hamburgers & hotdogs, we relaxed the evening away at a Braves game.

During the game, some serious storm clouds rolled in and it threatened to rain for most of the night. Once it started, we moved to higher & dryer ground and goofed off as we usually do. Eventually, we decided that it was getting late, so we made our way back to the hotel...with one small detour.

Tomorrow we head down to New Orleans to help out at a Homeless shelter. We probably will not have internet access until Sunday evening, so don't worry if we don't get an update out until then.

Day 1: Parkway COG

We successfully survived the 10.5 hour trip down to Seveirville, TN. On the way down, we stopped at Sheetz for breakfast & a restroom/smoothie stop, then we stopped at Pizza Hut for dinner and one un-scheduled "I really have to go pee" stop thanks to Nick Kaskel. Once we unloaded our luggage into the cottage that we were staying in at the Home For Children, we quickly went to the Parkway COG to prepare for the evening service.

During the service, Unity lead us in worship and then Matt Murphy performed the solo human video that he will be doing for Teen Talent. Once Pastor Brian took the stage, Tyler Waltemyer shared his testimony and then the group performed a new drama that they have been working on. Pastor Brian shared for a few moments and set-up for Rescue. The prayer and altar time was amazing as our students jumped right in and started to pray with those that came forward.
After the service we were treated to a spaghetti dinner and some fantastic peach cobbler and then we went back to the cottage for some much needed sleep!!
