Live from New York, It's...Tuesday Morning

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right. Galatians 6:9

Watchword for the Week of July 3, 2016 from 

The Moravian Daily Texts

The T-County Mission Team continues in service today on Staten Island, one of the 5 boroughs that comprise New York City. Did you know that there are 4 Moravian Churches on Staten Island, and 10 throughout all of the boroughs? Today's adventure will take our missionaries to the New Dorp Moravian Church where they will engage in behind-the-scenes work at a tremendous clothing distribution ministry. Pray for The Twenty to keep up their curiosity about the new environment they find themselves in, and their openness to the new people they encounter. Pray for them to be aware of God's presence in the midst of their experience. Pray for them to find delight in doing what's right.

Here are a few of yesterday's mission moments...

Before setting out to explore The Big City, our missionaries took a crash course in
 familiarizing themselves with their potentially-overwhelming surroundings.
Among the first requirements for adventuring in New York is knowing how to
navigate the city streets and where to find the train stations.

The team spent several hours sprucing up the
Community Garden at Castleton Hill Moravian Church.
According to one team member,
"They had a lot of lettuce" ready to be shared with their neighbors.
