Mission Trip

“Nawlins”

In keeping with one of Grace’s oldest ministries and outreach traditions, a team of youth and adults traveled to New Orleans to serve in mission. We left on Saturday, July 12th and returned on Sunday, July 20th. This was an amazing opportunity for both the young adults and “older” adults to connect spiritually, socially and skillfully with some of God’s children in need. Through the organization of TeamEffort we had the tasks of dry-walling and landscaping the home of Patrick and Gwen Skinner. We also had the pleasure of singing, worshipping, praying, and laughing with Patrick and Gwen.

This was an awesome experience that had a tremendous spiritual impact on all of us. Grace should be extremely proud of our youth; their spirituality, worship talents and capacity for compassion is something we can all learn from.

We wish to thank everyone for their support in getting us to New Orleans (and back). A special thanks to Karen and Keith Koch and to Aimee and Scott Moll for lending their vehicles for us to use. We also wish to thank the 1st Presbyterian church in Kilgore, Texas and the Custer Roads Church in Plano, Texas for their hospitality.

Grace’s amazing mission team members consist of: Kirk Anderson, Jay Ayers, Marland Chang, Jim Grannis, Betsy Jamison, Bill Woolf, Cory Barnett, Holly Grannis, Andy Bailey, Courtney Cummings, Alex Gealy, Ariana Moll, Falon Moll, Maggie Rainwater, Molly Rainwater, Nick Scannapieco, and Sarah Woolf.
