Day 2 Atonement Photos

Hi!  It's Karan, the resident Atonement photographer again.  Not as many photos today, as we spent the afternoon learning and worshipping with our Synod, sitting in a conference room.  Here's highlights:

Ran into the Bishop and Lin on our respective way to lunch!

There are uplifting signs all around Detroit

 

This was a large sculpture - one of several - at a park near our lunch restaurant.  Can you find all of us in the mirror pieces?

The Bishop sharing his story in our Synod's "Proclaim Story Day"

Sharing our stories!  David is not in this picture because he was up front as part of the presenters.  He did an excellent job speaking to a room of 350+!!

Communion with the Bishop
(Yes, Bishop M, I know you don't like us taking pictures during church!)

Jesus is....GOOD NEWS!!!

A mirrored ceiling!

Taking the Walk for Water Challenge.  That's a 5 gallon (40 lb) jug of water we carried...

...over a 0.1 mile track.  The average woman walks 3.7 miles in Africa daily to haul water.  Each carrier had a story to follow, and we faced simulated challenges like heat, delays, flash flood, illness (I caught malaria and had to take 2 Jelly Belly pills and sit on a cot for 2 minutes) to demonstrate difficulties that add to that 3.7 mile journey.

An afternoon break at the Ren Cen Marriott



Bronwyn REALLY likes sugar in her coffee (note the empty packets)

Our dinner at 7G Restaurant with some fabulous salads and wraps!

Since I'm not in many photos, David took a "you-ie" (not a "selfie")

Looking forward to a day at Proclaim Community tomorrow, with lots more activities like the Walk for Water Challenge and... the Bishop on the zip line!
