Pre-project visit: St. Louis

Back home now from this year's pre-project PowerPlant visit to St. Louis. The actual project is June 14-19, but we had a site visit with group leaders to see the lodging facility, meet the church planters we'll be working with, and see the ministry sites. It went really great.

Here's where two of the church plants are currently meeting:

W.E.L.D meets in this city park. There's a nearby pavillion for rainy days.

And then of course the dairy barn turned nightclub. Red Tree meets here on Sunday mornings and nights. The pastoral staff arrives early to sweep up broken glass from the night before. I think the barn touret serves as a steeple, haha.
