Adult Mission Trip
New Orleans Hurricane Recovery Work Group
Trip Dates: Sunday, July 15-Saturday, July 21, 2007
Cost: $750 – approximately (plus an “n95 respirator”)
Would you like to join the Community Church work group going to New Orleans to help with Hurricane Recovery as part of the UCC disaster response and recovery ministry?
We will fly to New Orleans on Sunday and rent a van. We will be staying at St. Paul’s UCC Church, sleeping on cots and/or twin size bunk beds with air bed mattresses. You need to bring twin sheets or sleeping bag and pillow and a n95 respirator which costs about $45. As a group we will prepare our own meals. Laundry facilities are on site. We will work Monday through Friday with Wednesday afternoon off. Several options of tours will be available for Wednesday afternoon.
Both skilled and unskilled workers are welcome. You must be able to work in a hot, humid, buggy environment and tolerate group living! Participants must be at least 16 years of age. “Flexibility and patience are key for the success of the experience” says the UCC website.

If this sounds interesting to you, pick up an application in the church office. $400 must be paid with the application and the balance is due by April 30. (Some financial assistance may be available.) The trip is being planned by those interested in going.
If you have questions, call Joyce Cox.
