Trip day two

 




 In the morning, we made little paper cups to hold cholocate coins for the kids at the elementary school next door for St. Patrick’s day next week. Illume focuses on the idea of community, and one of the best ways we can do that is through local connections such as the elementary school. 
















Shortly after, we made home made candle for new members who come to the Illume's church! They are scented with lavender and bergamot and were quite fun to make!



 




After this, we made and gave snacks after school to the kids at the elementary school right across for the church.

To close the day out (not pictured), we went to the Chapel on the Ave to join Illume’s partnered campus ministry to participate in a Bible Study. 

Additionally not pictured is the fantastic brunch Illume made for us today — bacon, eggs, pancakes, and fruit!

    Today was a great first day for the mission trip crew in Seattle! We started off the morning by going to Spotlight at Tri-Court Apartments, which is Illume's church service. Afterward, we worked around the church by shoveling dirt to help with drainage around the building, and we helped to promote the community Open Mic Night that the church will be hosting on Saturday night. To close work, we spent time edging the lawns, laying bark, and cleaning up our workspace. Our little bonus was celebrating Pastor Reeder's dad's birthday! It was a fantastic first step into Illume's ministry.
