Photo

Quickly, I'll just say that the photo posted is one of my favorite views at the church in Loughborough. I'm not exactly sure why, but every year each of us who visits the Loughborough church seems to record this same image. It's very interesting to me.
Is it the open door? The contrast of red and green? The path leading us to fellowship?
Whatever it is, it catches all of us. Maybe you can tell us what this view means to you.

In 2007, I remember carrying a shoeless Laura L. on my back down this path. And I remember watching tiny Thomas H. running back and forth after HBC. Oh. and in 2006 watching Scotty run back and forth just like he owned the whole place. --M.E.

Welcome

I hope this blog can be a place where those of us who have participated in one of the Otter Creek - Loughborough campaigns can share what it has meant to us. If you've gone with us, or been on the England end, I hope you get to relive some fun memories and tell us what you've taken from our times. If you are interested in our work, I hope that this project will give you not just the facts but the reasons why, and that you'll be able to connect to our work on a spiritual and emotional level. If you ran across it randomly, I hope you at least get a laugh or a smile.

I'm still working on getting links, photos, etc., in place, but feel free to start posting!
