Tomorrow on September 10, 2011 a group of church members, including 9 Youth are heading to North Alabama to help rebuild the homes of people hit by tornadoes in April. Even though it's been a few months since these natural disasters people are still trying to put their lives back together. Our youth group had been planing to do a mission trip at the end of the summer but it just seemed like nothing could come together. Then we heard about the Presbyterian Church sending volunteers to Alabama. Immediately people were interested. We started doing our research and pretty soon we had a team together.
People want to help. Youth want to help. What is important to youth is finding a place to fit in. They want to be accepted in school and church. They want to know they can help. They want to know they're needed and the work they can do is important. Tomorrow our youth get their opportunity. It's not costing them any money just a few hours of their Saturday. We couldn't be more proud of their dedication. Pictures to come soon!
