Would you be interested in doing a Joplin Mission trip?
We are looking at planning a mission trip toJoplin,Molate summer, early fall. The months we are looking at would either be end of August, September or early October. This would be a Sunday through Friday trip or we can shorten as needed.
Right now we are just wondering if there is interest out there and what dates we should start looking at. Group size can be up to 30 people.
Cost for the week is $75 for the room and then we would add a split of cost of food and gas to that depending on the size of the group. Probably no more than $200 a person.
If you are interested or know someone who might be interested, please let the church office or Karla Rice know so that we can begin forming a group and get our spot held. They are already booked through July so space is filling up.
