Saturday in Chi Town

We're just settling down for our evening devotions - had a wonderful service at the Yellow Box, full of energy and thought.

Dinner was Chicago Style Pizza from Shawn's favoirte place. Deep dish has some serious merit. One of Shawn's former students - Pucci - will be joining us all week in Cedar Rapids. A most welcome new member to the extended MUMC group!

The group at the Pier enjoyed the amusement park activities, and the entertainment of several REAL Pirates (Ted says so). Our Dance Team girls were a hit. A Jet Boat tour of Burnham Harbor gave everyone a chance to see and experience the Chicago skyline from the waterside (not quite the Goodtime II but is was GREAT!)

Shed Aquarium - COOL in the Polar Play Zone with Beluga Whales, California Sea lions, HOT in the Amazonian rain forest (the biggest python I EVER saw). Had a chance to see part of the BMX and Vert competition at the AST Dew Tour and Taste of Chicago food & concerts at Centenial Park.

Right now it's starting to rain with a loud & active light show courtesy to serious thunder-boomers.

On the road by 8:00 a.m tomorrow for the final leg to Cedar Rapids - forecast is mid 80's and sunshine all week.

Lord, we may not always know what pleases you, but Lord, we hope that our trying to please You, pleases You.

Keep us in your prayers, your support and strength enable us to extend MUMC's caring and love across the midwest. (photos tomorrow)
