Missions Ministry

Thank You, Mt. Bethel! There has been a wonderful response to our West Virginia mission trips this year--so much so that we have added two more for a total of six teams which will be serving the needs of the severely poor in this Appalachia region of our own country. If you have a small group that would like to consider participating, contact Larry Armstrong for more details. Also, your generosity has resulted in our collection trailer being filled several times with clothing and household items. The need continues. Please pack your items in travel-ready boxes with the contents marked outside the box. And please be sure to put them inside the trailer and not outside the trailer on the parking lot. Do you know someone moving or having a garage sale? Ask them to consider donating items they no longer use which might be useful to, or brighten up the day of someone much less fortunate than we are.
