Today you will hear from 5 of our high schoolers. Henry Newsum and Jett Guymer have shared their reflection on our Proclaim Story Day while Becca Jainga, Elsa Bean, and Maddy Smith have shared their reflection on our last day and worship. We have had a wonderful trip and look forward to sharing it all with you when we return.

Yesterday was an amazing day. We assisted setting up a synod. Both Laurens spoke in front of several churches. In addition, Bishop Unti spoke in front of all of us telling his wonderful story. He was very down to earth.  The rest of our group lead communion. At the end of our day we heard several great speakers focusing on the topic of we all have the power to change society for the better. Towards the end of the service the Rock/Punk Christian band Skillet came and preformed several live songs for us. It was an awesome experience as we were all into the music and rocking out.  Even though our ears were ringing like crazy and couldn't hear the person next to us, we never seemed to lose our sense of fun as we play Queen the whole car ride to the hotel into the darkness. Fade to Black.

Today we had to wake up the earliest to load up the cars and head to  Sunday worship service.  At the service, Bishop Eaton preached about not being shameful of your faith.  It taught us to go out in our community and do what we did here in Detroit and help those in need.  Communion was somewhat different from what we are used to at St. Andrews.  Every five rows or so in each section there were three people holding the bread, wine, and grape juice. We got up at two rows at a time and walked through the rows to the communion assistants.  It was a very efficient way of doing communion with thirty thousand people.  Sadly we had to leave the service early to catch our flight at the Detroit Metro Airport to head home.  Overall, Detroit was a great experience filled with fun, faith and service.
