[Oe List ...] Fwd: GMCA Sept.15

*MON SEP 15* *Good Shepherd U. U. Church, Elkhart to Mennonite College,
Goshen, IN*



I had a good night’s sleep and the weather forecast said Mon. would be
sunny. Before we finished breakfast it clouded over and began to sprinkle.
I asked Doug if he had any passengers in the Gear truck and he said “No”. I
told him that I would help him pack up and put my bike in the truck. He
said “OK”. So I made the trip without getting a shower! The Mennonite
College has many facilities. I went to the giant auditorium that joins the
kitchen. The guest WiFi hooked up to my laptop automatically.  I saw a CVS
store as we were approaching the college.  So later I bicycled to CVS and
got my flu shot. The nurse asked if I wanted my pneumonia shot too. I said
“Yes”. Maybe I should have said “No”. The only affect I’ve had is 2 sore
arms.


The college allowed us to camp out in the basement after preschool
finished. The Mennonites provided the potluck dinner. They sang the
mealtime blessing—they’re like a chorus! It was the biggest gathering we’ve
had (at least 200 people). And it was clear that they welcomed us. After
the meal we adjourned to another part of the auditorium and there were a
series of presentations, including some from the Marchers. The chair
invited those who wanted to March to meet in one corner, and those who
wanted to go to NYC for the Peoples Climate March to meet in another
corner, and those who wanted to provide ongoing support of the March to
meet in another corner. I am going to NYC so joined that group.  We got
details on upcoming events. To end the meeting our hosts sang their version
of the Doxology; yet another chorus.
