 Needed: Wheels!
Are you blessed with a large church van or bus that is not used much during the week? Would you consider loaning it to a fellow Presbyterian Church in need? John Knox Presbyterian is seeking a way to transport up to 50 children and adults on local mission field trips at least three days, August 5-7, as part of the church's Summer Mission Camp. They have several CDL-licensed members who are willing to drive. If your church would consider loaning your bus or van for even one day, to transport even some of the kids, that would be a huge help. Contact Pastor Becky Downs (713-462-5448) if you can help. Thank you, Presbytery!
