NYC Mission Trip Day 6
Our final full day in NYC, and we made every minute count.
We began the day with the children, once again. This day’s lesson was about Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, and we emphasized that Jesus takes away our sins. A real highlight of the day was our activity to reinforce the lesson: we planted flowers out in Christ Lutheran’s garden. As we planted the flowers, we reminded the children that, like flowers, Jesus came up out of the ground. He’s alive!
After working with the children, we finished up a few projects around the church, ate a little lunch, and then went to Manhattan for some sightseeing. We started out at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and spent two hours there. Pastor Jackson’s group even found Lucas Cranach the Elder’s painting of Martin Luther!
We then took a stroll through Central Park and proceeded to the Statton Island Ferry to get our pictures of the Statue of Liberty.
After the ferry, we traveled back to Woodside, and quick got ready to visit (not worship at!) the Sikh Gurdwara a couple of blocks away.
We finished out the day with our meeting and praying Vespers.
