When???

Ok, so some of you have been asking me what the dates are of the trip...hmmm.  Not a good sign!  The dates of the trip are July 9-16, (we're leaving on Saturday the 9th in order to make it to WV by 2pm on Sunday).  No more not knowing the dates of you're own mission trip! It looks really really bad!

I love you guys.

Checking in...

Howdy Missionaries!

Time is certainly flying and before you know it, we'll be packing the cars and heading to WV!!  How's everyone doing with the fund raising letters?  I've begun to hear good things, which is very encouraging.  Remember, your letters will be your main funding source.

Be sure to check out the calendar regularly and also look into the new online giving option!  Paperless is soooo the way to go ;)

Talk to you soon!

Reminder...

Don't forget our team meeting this Sunday in the youth attic after the congregational meeting.  See you there!

Lincoln County

We've been assigned a county!  We'll be working in Lincoln County, West Virgina.  Each group is assigned a center in their county as a "base of operations" which we won't find out specifics on for another couple weeks.  In the mean time, here's some facts about Lincoln:

Also, I just attended an ASP webinar online and learned all kinds of tasty goodness about our trip that I will share with you at our next meeting on the 15th.  By the way, there is a congregational meeting after church on the 15th, but we'll meet afterwards anyway, so count on around 12:30.  I'll send an email reminder as well.

LETTERS!!!  HAVE YOU MAILED THEM???!!?!?!!?!?!?!

Please don't put them off.  The longer you wait, the less inclined people will be to give (because the diligent people got their money first!)  It's science people!!

Calendar Updates

Hey guys and girls,

The calendar tab has been updated with all of the dates for the upcoming team meetings.  Our next one is May 15!  I'll send out an email reminder, but be sure to check out the calendar...

Hammer skills?!

Hey guys...

Since we'll be doing a lot of construction on this trip, I figured I help us out with a list of valuable do's and don'ts. Here we go...

DO:

1. Buy your tools before the day of our departure and practice! We will have a practice construction day with the whole team, but seriously, who wouldn't want to show up with mad hammer skills?!

2. Know the difference between a phillips and a flat head. Say what? Exactly.

3. Ask your local hardware store to donate your tools! Be friendly and let them know what you're doing and why. You never know, you may end up walking away with not only your tools, but also a blessed heart!

DON'T:

1. Decide you stink at manual labor and plan on finding as many ways as you can to skip out! Each one of us on the team has been blessed with healthy and able bodies...let's use 'em!

2. Ask your parents to do #3 above! Laaaaaaame!

3. FORGET TO SEND OUT YOUR FUND RAISING LETTERS!!!! More on this to come...

HAHAHA...

Just a little laughter for ya today...

Don't forget the team meeting on Sunday! Check the calendar tab above for time and place...
