Day 1 Monday, July 9, 2012

We made it to Henderson Settlement safe and sound. We are staying on site at Hope House, which is very nice--8 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and front porch with a swing. After unpacking the trucks & vans, and settling into our rooms, we made the hike up hill to the meeting center where we attended the orientation meeting. We gathered with church groups from all over the US--Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and 3 groups from Illinois! After the meeting we enjoyed a rousing game of Catch Phrase, followed by a group  devotional time.

This morning's devotional was held on Vesper Hill. Our group is standing by the 3 crosses, which was a HUMC project several years ago.
