It is Tuesday before the Mission Trip and so many blessings are happening, even before we go down to West Virginia.
Two weeks ago, we encouraged everyone to take a "mission bucket" home with them, and bring it back with items needed down in West Virginia. Rick Burke did a great job explaining that, even if people could not go down with us, they can be part of the team, by bringing down these supplies.
I was overwhelmed by your generosity. Buckets came back overflowing with items. Beyond the buckets, we are bringing over $1,200 dollars in Lowes Gift Cards. I just got word that there is another $650 in donations collected for the trip,
When I talked to the Appalachian South Folklife Center director, yesterday and told her what we're coming with, she was deeply moved.
This is such a generous community of faith. Your love and generosity will clearly go down with us. You will be with us throughout the week. As we build relationships and partnerships down in West Virginia, we will be thinking of you, praying for you. Please keep the Mission Team in your prayers, too.
Pastor John
