Day 1 Recap

We had a terrific first day. Our group split into two groups. Group 1 went to a Native American Trail of Tears site and worked with Ms. Cleot and Digger. We got introduced to our new enemy Privet. It is an invasive root that can grow into a 25 foot tree. We spent the morning pulling it up and carrying it off. Youth works has been doing this al summer and we added to the pile of pulled privet that is already 6 feet high, 30 feet wide, and about 60 feet long. We then went to Allandale Rec center and played with kids the rest of the afternoon. Group 2 went to Allandale center in the morning and got to play kickball with the kids. They then went to a boys/girls club and played some more. For our activity in the evening, we went for an enchanted stroll through Rock City. If you are curious there are 62 gnomes in rock city.

It was an excellent day of ministry. The girls did awesome serving the Chattanooga community. Pray for strength to be able to pull out another day.
