Mission News 1/11/09

The Missions Work Area is planning our second annual mission work trip (for persons 14 years or older) to Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota June 7-13, 2009. We will be working with Lakota people of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe. Crow Creek Reservation is located about 60 miles southeast from Pierre, South Dakota. Mission teams assist with repairs to homes, churches, shelters, youth center, daycare
facilities, etc. Other tasks available are sewing, working in the Thrift Shop or Food Pantry, cooking in the hot lunch program, providing VBS at the Boys/Girls Club, and much more. There are always varied work projects to keep team members busy.

The cost of this VIM mission trip is $200-$275, which covers food, transportation, lodging, and building materials. The reservation housing can accommodate up to 100 people. If you are interested in being a part of this mission experience, please contact Everett Easley at the church office, 781-4554, by March 17. A $125 application fee will be due from each participant wishing to go. This will help secure our team’s date on the calendar. Informational meetings will be forthcoming.

We will be there to appreciate, to understand, to learn, to make friends and to nurture the hope that the Lakota People have in themselves. We are looking forward to a great week where we will come together to do God's work.
If you are interested, please contact Kevin Fisher or Everett Easley at the church, 816-781-4554.
