A YEAR IN BELFAST

For the next year I am living at this house in north Belfast. I was fortunate enough to be selected by the Young Adult Volunteer program (and fortunate enough to have people and churches support me) to be sent to Belfast for the year to serve the community of Belfast. I got here on September 1, 2008 and will return sometime around late July of 2009. Most of my work is with Whitehouse Presbyterian Church, which is an amazingly active and welcoming church that works hard to help the area around them and continues to work hard for peace. There are 8 volunteers total who are here through our program. Joel, who is spending the year working with The Vine and Cook Presbyterian Church, also lives at 28 Skegoneill Drive with me.
