Mission Trip is Planned for Summer 2010!

A team of Peoples people have been meeting for about six months to plan and organize our church's first mission trip out of the state of Maine. Please mark your calendars for Sunday, January 10 after worship from noon-1pm to see a presentation from the team about the mission.

We have selected Experience Mission in Baltimore, Maryland. Experience Mission is a non-denominational, Christian-based mission. Their mission in Baltimore works with a children's ministry called the Christian Community Center, which is located in the heart of Baltimore. In addition to leading Kids Club at the Christian Community Center, mission volunteers will work with the homeless and help with work projects such as painting and minor repairs. We will most likely travel on the mission trip July 11-16, however this date is still tentative.

Each morning there is time set aside for devotions and prayer, and the staff lead worship after dinner each evening. All meals are prepared by the Experience Mission staff. Our Peoples planning team will continue to work on details such as transportation, fund-raising, and sign-up. The cost of the trip is $265 per person, plus travel expenses.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about this mission trip, or ways you may be able to support the team even if you cannot attend yourself, please come to our informational meeting on January 10! If you have any questions before then, please contact any of our team members: Betsy Morrison, Betty Lane, Janell Powell, Earle Harvey and Pastor Gwyneth.
