Back Home...

We have all arrived back home again. I think many of us are resting from our trip still (and Janeane is celebrating a birthday today! Happy Birthday Janeane!!).


Here are some highlights from our trip that we haven't gotten to post about yet:

Saturday evening we were greeted by the Mayor of New Orleans, C. Ray Nagin. After this, Bishop Hansen read another letter from President Barack Obama. Here is a video from another participant:



While in the Interaction Center, we got a few chances as group shots. Here is one of our goofy ones from outside the Thrivent Builds trailer:

And while in New Orleans, we were welcomed by many people in many ways. Some locals would stop us on the street walking and others would say something quick as they passed by. There were signs throughout the city welcoming us and this billboard as we exited the airport (photo from gatheringpics.elca.org):

I am sure you want to learn more about our trip -- We'll be sharing more videos, pictures, and stories during Our Saviour Lutheran Church's worship services:

Sunday, August 16th (8:30am, 10:00am, and 11:30am)
