Additions to Go Verona Website

I know, I know....you're thinking, but the website just went live two days ago. However, we already have added a couple of sections. One you'll find on the main menu of links (on the left), that is the Team Calendar. You can see what is happening in our ministry and what plans are down the road.

The second thing is the new page describing all of the support staff that make up our ministry. The Field Coordinator role is a vocational position, the others are all volunteers! We are blessed to have a great web of support, encouraging our team to go forward while providing wisdom, encouragement and edification along the way.

The Trolley of Verona

Do you remember the trolley from Mister Roger's Neighborhood? You remember, the trolley who took us to the Neighborhood of Make Believe? We got to ride it last week in Verona! Well, maybe it wasn't the same trolley, but it looked like it. While we were in Verona with our field coordinator, Wayne Meece and his wife Greta, I decided it would be a good time for us to take a trip on this little trolley in the center of town. It is a twenty minute ride for 3 euro (approximately $5) per person. It winds through many of the small ancient streets and alleyways, all the while playing over the loudspeaker tidbits of history about the surrounding area. The trolley is a great way for us to survey the city and find out more about this place. Here are some pictures...

And as I was reminiscing and thinking about the old trolley from Mister Roger's, I was reminded of the song with which he ended every episode. Ah, days of youth. Hopefully we can bring a childlike faith to the people of Verona.

For your nostalgia....

"It's such a good, feeling

To know you're alive

It's such a Happy feeling

You're growing inside!

And when you Wake Up, ready to say:

'I think I'll make a snappy new day'

It's such a good, feeling

A very good feeling

The feeling you know

That, I'll be back

When the day is new

An' I'll have more, Ideas

For you.

And you'll have things you'll want to talk about.

I

Will

Too."

Field Coordinator Visiting

Wayne and Greta Meece are visiting us in Italy this week. Wayne is the European Field Coordinator for Team Expansion and has visited us before i the past. Greta helps him in his role, as well as is involved in other member care areas of our Home Office. They are spending time with the Ancona team and us, as the only in Italy representatives of the Verona team. We are taking them on an overnight trip to Verona and then spending a bit more time with them here in Ancona too. Pray for our safe travels and that we can continue to research Verona and how we can minister there.
