New Plans - Youth Mission Trip
Because of the flooding along the Missouri River, we will not be staying overnight at Missouri Valley Presbyterian Church in Iowa any more. Instead, we will go up to Minnesota and stay at the Byrnes' cottage. Thanks Larry and Barb!
Please keep Missouri Valley Presbyterian Church and those affected by the flooding in your prayers, as well as the youth.
