Our final day on Market Street started with breakfast in the community room with our team and members of The Hill Church community. It was nice to see the families that we had met and connected with the previous 48 hours.
The Sunday service was at 11:00 a.m. And while this might seem normal for most other churches - having a Sunday service in the morning - this was the first Sunday morning worship service in their sanctuary in two years. Pastor Ricardo was encouraged to see some new faces in the congregation. It was cool to be a part of a milestone for this ministry team. You could feel God's presence as two of our team members helped lead the worship songs with our new neighbors from Allison Hill.
As we prepared to return home after our three days in Harrisburg, we discussed since The Hill Church is so close staying involved with this community could easily continue on a regular basis. That was our challenge from God as we departed ... the relationships we developed are worth investing in further so our team is going to pray individually to find out what that next step is for each of them.
