Strawbridge has helped me in countless ways. I have found a family in this church especially the youth group. Through Strawbridge I have had the opportunity to travel to places and learn things I would never have been able to. I got to spend a week in the mountains of Ashville, North Carolina and learn how we are all connected to our surroundings and appreciate the beauty of nature. I traveled to Alabama and Georgia and learned more in depth information about Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement. I got to visit Washington, D.C., and Maryland and learn about those who came before us. In addition to these trips, this church has given me a chance to attend annual mission trips, vacation bible schools, and summer camps. Strawbridge has also given me a space to discover who I am and what fulfills me. I enjoy being a part of this church as it allows me spaces to grow, learn, and also times where I can let go of life for a little bit and share laughs with people I have come to love. Strawbridge means so much to me and will forever be apart of who I am.
