2 Faith Nurturing June 13 th members of our youth community will leave for their mission trip. Their mission is to make livable some homes of elderly citizens that have been damaged by storms and floods in southern Missouri. They will be involved in painting, clean up, and carpentry work. The group will make their headquarters in Springfield at the Kings Way United Methodist Church where they will eat and sleep. From there they will travel east to Mountain Grove, MO for one or two days and on another day they will go the opposite direction to Joplin. To pay for this trip the youth have sponsored dinners and held a rummage sale. In addition, the youth have had to accumulate service hours for the church to qualify to go. Yes, as Kyle Gelatko observed, they have had to do service in order to give service for others. This trip would not be possible without your support and dedicated adults who are involved in our youth ministry. A special salute goes to Ginny Hall, Tim and Elizabeth Hicks, Mike and Colleen Gelatko, Keith Asaeli and Ginny Bottrell. These faithful adults have agreed to give up their time, travel in their own cars and sleep on cots in order to go with our youth to be servants for the youth mission trip.
