We are working with Sea Island Habitat for Humanity building a home for a family in need!!! It’s a wonderful trip working to provide a home for a family. We will go to the beach and do some fun stuff too!
Total cost for a student to go is $150 or 15 hours of volunteer work at local missions and fundraising projects.
Participants will need to train by volunteering at our local habitat for humanity. Days and dates are to be determined and announced later.
Calling Mission Minded Friends....
Leigh Clark will be leading the team.
We also have an opportunity for adults to take a mission trip on or about the same dates to work with Sea Island Habitat for Humanity! Cost will be extremely low. Details are flexible. I just need to know any folks interested in going! If you have any questions or interest I need to get with you and discuss the possibilities! Please Contact Leigh Clark ASAP.

If you know of a church member who has been admitted to the hospital, please call the church office (preferably a family member) to let us know. Don’t assume that we’ve already heard about it. Because if you don’t call, there’s a good chance we haven’t. We want to ensure that our hospitalized church members or at home members receive regular visits while they are ill, and your calls are the only way we can make that happen. Please help us in the office as we all try to better look out and care for one another. | |
