We had another meeting last for planning and we got a little more detailed schedule from our team leader, Tom who is also our Missions Pastor :) Things you can be praying for will be in BOLD print :)
The Saturday or Sunday after we get there, we will be holding a Fall Festival type night for the community, since we will be there right around Halloween. We are hoping to get bounce houses, games, candy and everything else you see at a Fall Festival. Pray that God will give us the energy to keep going after a 10 hour flight. And that we would correctly promote God and Galway City Church.
We are doing the church service for Galway City Church this year, since we were not able to that last year. We are doing the worship service, sermon and childcare so that all the adults can come to the service.
We are also doing three days of community outreach, starting Tuesday(25th) with a conference for Galway City Church on parenting and marriage. Wednesday will be our 3D night. Dinner, DVD and Discussion. This is for their University students, so I am very excited about this, because I will meet people around my age. Friday will be another conference, but I'm not sure what the topics will be for that one and this conference is for the community. Please pray for the discussion time we have at the 3D night and the rest of conferences.
We will end our trip with my personal favorite from last year, the Family Retreat. This retreat is for the families of Galway City Church. This is 4 days and 24 hours with these parents and their children, many of which I can NOT wait to see again. Our theme last year was God's Love for us. This years theme is Loving One Another. I am so excited I cannot contain myself at times! This is such a great opportunity to minister to these families and get to know them. Please for the families and that God would provide the money for them to attend this retreat.
Also be praying for Jason Post as he flys back to Ireland tomorrow. For the leadership team there that they would be able accomplish what is need for our trip and the church, that God would bring more people there.
