Part 2 of 3
Make-A-Wish Convoy
Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12
Banners on the trucks.
When Jesse saw the helicopter, he asked to wait in line to get inside.
There were clowns of all shapes and sizes.
They are important to the day, because they collect funds during the convoy.
We got back to the chapel in time for the first devotional service at 10:00 a.m.
Chaplain Jake and Jane Wise ministered to a full chapel. Counting children on laps and people standing in the back there were thirty people.
Jake challenged us with the verse concerning faith like a mustard seed, and Jane led the singing.
Afterwards Ian spotted the M & M guy and wanted a picture with him.
These clowns wanted in on a picture as well.
I spotted the Turkey Hill cow who was giving out small containers of iced tea.
Chapel visitors between services.
This young clown/juggler could get this “thing” going by swinging it back and forth, throwing it in the air, and catching it.
The 11:00 a.m. service was full, but not quite so crowded.
About 12:30 p.m. – after many more visitors – we prepared the chapel for travel and waited for the convoy to begin – and watched the activity from the cab of our truck.
The scene in front of us.
The convoy began promptly at 1:30 p.m.
Our position puts us in a perfect spot for worship services, and then later to view the early trucks leaving the lot.
I am not aware that this vehicle entered the convoy. It appeared that he was monitoring the trucks as they left the lot.

We were just told that it is our turn to join the convoy. Come back tomorrow night.
