There are still 60 homes to rebuild in D’Iberville, Mississippi. The D’Iberville Volunteer Foundation is planning to continue operation through June 2008. Their goal is to complete the homes on their schedule. We have sent five mission teams to D’Iberville in the past. A sixth mission is being planned for February 23 through March 2, 2008. Prayerfully consider becoming a Katrina Mission Volunteer. There are residents returning to the area and seeing their damaged homes for the first time. Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, do it yourselfers, painters, drywallers, and helpers are welcomed. Please contact Steve Baillie at the church, 810. 234.8673 for more information.

Be a Part of the Team!

For those of us that are unable to go on the trips, there is an opportunity to be able to have stock in the 2008 Mission trips. Stock certificates that are suitable for framing are available for anyone that gives either prayer or financial support for these trips. Please see the display at the Welcome Desk. If you have already signed up, you may pick up your certificates at the Welcome Desk. You may also choose to sponsor a missioner through prayer, encourage-ment, and/or financial giving. Please see the Welcome Desk for information about a missioner.

The Mission Team knows that you, the congregation, will want to support your Missioners in their endeavor. Here are some of the ways that you can do this. New this year will be the opportunity to purchase Mission Shares. Mission Share certificates will be available at the Welcome Desk. These certificates will be suitable for framing that will show your support for the mission work of your church. Another way to support the D’Iberville trips will be to purchase either Lowes or Home Depot gift cards that can be used to buy materials for the work that they are doing. A third way to support the Missioners would be to donate funds to help with the cost of the trips so that it may increase what they will be able to do. And of course, the fourth and most important way to support our Missioners is to pray. Please pray for their safety, for our Lord’s guidance, and that all they do will help bring glory to God.

Please drop off your donations to the office with either Jim Hugan or Steve Baillie.
