Service Opportunities

We have been invited to participate in a week long mission trip near Springfield, MO, by the Washington Presbyterian Church. The trip is June 6 to the 12. It will begin on Sunday afternoon and end the following Saturday. The work will be to help elderly and needy people with home repair or modifications like ramps. The work is coordinated by the Council of Churches. Housing will be at a local church that has cooking and shower facilities. The cost of the trip is $150 which includes everything. There will be an informational meeting on April 18th at 12:30 in Washington. Please sign up if you are interested in going on the Mission Trip and to the informational meeting. This trip is geared primarily for adults; however youth between the ages of 13 and 16 can attend but must have a parent present.
