Back Bay Mission, a community ministry of the UCC, has opened its Mission Trips calendar for 2014. While some congregations and groups have already reserved slots in 2014, many dates remain open. Some dates in 2013 are also available. Supervised by dedicated Back Bay Mission staff, Mission Trip volunteers accomplish housing rehabilitation tasks that result in incredible neighborhood revitalization that would otherwise be impossible. Volunteers also participate in other programs, such as the food pantry and Micah Day Center for the homeless. To learn more, visit www.thebackbaymission.org or contact Church Relations Associate Christopher Marlin-Warfield  (228.243.5322).

This year the Summer Academy will be presenting a larger venue of classes with more choices and exciting options to choose from. Register on line at any time.
