Navigating through the transition of leaving home and beginning college can be a real formidable task. There are distractions and pitfalls that are available on every college campus. This time period is perhaps the biggest change that occurs in a young person’s life and involves the pathway or conduit to adulthood. Balancing academics and an active social life can be a real challenge. Add a part time job and it can be overwhelming. If you are headed to college this Fall join Lee Ancona, PhD., for some pizza and Q&A about the ins and outs of college life. Bring a friend along with a notebook and pen!

Join us for another adult mission trip to the Mission Center in Conroe, Texas! The

Mission Center is the warehouse and command center for recovery efforts in The Texas Annual Conference. The warehouse collects, assembles and distributes disaster response equipment and supplies for use in regional disasters.

No experience required! We will assemble and verify cleaning and hygiene kits in a climate-controlled environment. Work hours are flexible.

If you’re interested in joining the team, please email Peggy Badlato. There is no trip fee; the only costs for this trip are meals and hotels. We’ll carpool to Conroe on Sunday, October 23, and start work Monday morning. On Thursday, we can quit work early to get home at a decent hour.

We hope YOU will be part of the team!
