Day 6! After and during lunch, many people showed fatigue in their actions, body language, and speech. Chris, Pastor Emily, and Father Mac decided it would be a smart idea for people to take an hour free time break. After the hour, it was decided that only half of the people needed to work [...]

Mission Trip 2018!
Tuesday and Wednesday!!
Day 2 and 3 The PPC Youth has had a very eventful past two days. From building houses for Habitat for Humanity to visiting centers for dealing with addiction, we have had to do it all. Tuesday: The day abruptly started at 7:00, which for some is too early. After breakfast, our group delved deep [...]
MONDAYYYY FUNDAYYYY
This morning we woke up before the sun rose, too early (7am). The other mission trippers from the First United Presbyterian Church prepared a scrumptious breakfast of bagels and cereal for all of us. After our nutritious start, we had a quick devotion lead by the team leaders from RYM (Raleigh Youth Mission). After losing [...]
Mission Team arrives in Raleigh, NC!
Fair Presbyterians of Potomac, Today was a doozie. It all started with the bodacious sendoff from the congregation. We all felt like kings and queens having the people wave us out as we started on our journey. As expected, not long after putting rubber to pavement, Ed burned said rubber, and left everyone in his [...]

We eventually made it to the worksite, just to realize we had to rip down everything we did on Tuesday. While the team worked [...]

Work Day Dos (2)
Greetings Earthlings. Today the Stunnas (Teddy Andrew, Jack Dager, Sam Spencer, and Jack White) were viciously disturbed from their overnight couch slumber party extravaganza by sixteen hooligans claiming that it was timr to chow down on some pancakes. This claim turned out to be false as we were faced with a substance disguised as food. [...]
Work Day #1
Wake up today was at 6:30 sharp (like the glass from the shattered lasagna plate) and got to enjoy the wake up call of grits, bacon, and eggs. While we were enjoying the feast, we were joined by members of the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance who informed us of the challenges of the worksite and the [...]
