Summer mission trip news!

Have you heard about our parish's Summer Mission Trip? Now is the time to be signing up, volunteering to help, and encouraging the youth in your life to sign up. All youth who will have finished grades 7 through 12 are invited to participate (you may also invite your friends). The dates for the trip are Sunday, July 12 through Wednesday, July 15.

This year’s mission site is right here in Starbuck! We’ll be staying in parish churches and doing service projects here in our own community as we explore what God is doing, not just in far-away places, but also right here in our neighborhood. Yes, this saves money and makes transportation a whole lot easier--but that's not why we are doing it. We are staying local this year because this really is one of the most exciting mission fields in the world. This is a great opportunity for us to grow in our faith, strengthen our relationships, and learn to see our own community with new eyes.

(The regular registration deadline is this Sunday, June 14. It only costs $25! If you register after that, the cost will be slightly higher.)

  1. Would that be Sunday, July 12? (Seems a bit long if you start in June...)
