Easter & Palm Sunday, 2008

The annual Somerville Palm Sunday donkey walk! Churches from all over Somerville held an interdenominational prayer at Powderhouse Circle, and then we marched on down, with Laura Ruth drumming along at the fore! Easter was our culmination, returning from the desert to find lush greens, jubilation, and silver tea!

Mexico Mission Trip, 2008

A dozen of us (coincidental number? you decide) traveled to Colima, Mexico in February to spend over a week with the children of the Casa San Jose, where Pastor Molly once lived and worked. We went swimming, we played soccer, they saw themselves in our eyes and we in theirs. It was nothing short of beautiful.
