Every year, Christus Victor Lutheran Church, Durham, plans a short outdoor worship service followed by going out beyond our walls to serve at least until lunchtime. This year was the first year the weather changed our plans. It was so humid and the rain forecast so iffy, we postponed our picnic at McDougald Terrace, a local public housing complex, and moved worship inside. But we still had a small warehouse full of cleaning supplies to get to McDougald. (So many people had donated school supplies, and their resident leader, Ashley, asked us for cleaning supplies.) Once there, the sun came out…along with the sweat. It appeared the trash services stopped at McDougald Terrace. We did a little clean-up work as long as the rain held off. (You can see that even those who came in their Sunday best instead of their GWOH T-Shirts got into it!) The following Sunday, we held the picnic. God didn’t want us to drop by McDougald Terrace for one day. God wanted us to be there for more. We’ve been working on this relationship with McDougald Terrace ever since the entire complex was evacuated because of carbon monoxide leaks on Christmas Day 2019 when hundreds of people were living in the hotels around the church until they could move back in the spring of 2020. This was our second picnic at McDougald since.
