Oh, Dungannon

Nestled in the valley 
lies a town, a gem to see.
Driving in through drying rain
meeting my home to be.
for seven days, five of toil,
two of leisure we'll discover
an undercover God
in the hearts of those we meet.
Fixing and painting and reveling
praying and singing and slinging 
stories of friendships, stories of grace
we hope to see God face-to-face
with prayers from a parish
our works shall not perish
our deeds will be scribed,
and nowhere will God's love be denied.

It sounds like you had an eventful trip down - hope everyone arrived safe and had fun yesterday. Good luck with your first day of work! We can't wait to hear all about it.
