Milwaukee Mission Trip in March
|
Are You Being Called To Serve?
United Methodist Children's
Services
March 11 - 13th
United Methodist Children's
Services (www.umcs-wi.org) was organized
in 1962 and has been serving women, children and families in the Milwaukee area for 45
years. They have three main areas of
emphasis. The Growing
Tree Children's Center, the Transitional Living Program,
and the Family Resource
Center. Our work while we are there
will most likely be with the Family
Resource Center
as part of the emergency food pantry and clothing distribution, however we may
be asked to help clean or paint one of their transitional homes as well. It all depends where their greatest area of
need is on the days we are there.
We'll meet at New Hope at 2:15 on Thursday afternoon. We will be sleeping at a
church in the Milwaukee
area on Thursday and Friday night and working at the UMCS all day Friday and
Saturday until noon. We will return to New Hope on Saturday afternoon.
Cost of the trip is
$50.
The trip is open to all
youth in the 8th grade or above and adults. Contact Patti by February 28th if
you plan to go. (Note: The confirmation class is expected to attend
unless excused by Pastor Barb.)
A mission training meeting
including what to expect and what to pack, etc. will be held the week of March
8th.
