Gettysburg BLITZ!!!

Fresh off a recent mission trip to Ocean City, MD, the Memorial youth group was at it again on Wednesday. This time, however, they were ministering in their own backyard. Marty, Jared, Amanda and I teamed up with the US Christian Commission to help with Gettysburg Blitz. This ministry focuses on the thousands of tourists coming through Gettysburg during reenactment-week. Our group handed out water to passers-by, and walked the streets, handing out free tickets to a nightly “God and Country” presentation.

The rest of the church family got in on the act on Wednesday night, joining the youth in Alumni Park to be part of the God and Country service, which featured music, a message, and even an appearance by Abraham Lincoln (a.k.a. USCC Director John Wega). It was a great day of ministry, and all involved look forward to partnering with the USCC in the future.
