A long night of house rocking thunderstorms and news of Edouard hitting the Gulf Coast brings to mind the thousands who are still recovering from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita almost three years later.  And, as many who have recently returned from the region would testify, they still need a ton of help!  To answer that call for help, Concord has planned a mission trip to the gulf with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance!!

At our first "meeting" with interested volunteers we decided to spend the week of Thanksgiving "giving" back.  Our dates are November 22-30, 2008.  We have been assigned to the village of Pearlington, MS on the Mississippi/ Louisiana border, just a few miles from Slidell and directly where the eye of Katrina hit!  Pearlington is a quaint rural area and one of the only sites open the week of Thanksgiving.  There will be an opportunity during our time there to take a trip into New Orleans to see the city and how they are recovering.

The cost for the trip will be $120 + travel expenses (approximately $200).

Other important facts you need to know:

  • Everyone needs rebuilding skills. The Home Depot in your area may offer classes- we will schedule times to go together.
  • Everyone must have accident insurance.
  • Everyone should have a current tetanus shot.
  • Everyone must to be 18 years old or older.
  • Teams will be asked to
    • do at least some of the cooking, so you might want to bring a few recipes
    • help with keeping the village clean.
    • to lead some of the evening reflection time.

Please let me know if you are interested in joining us this Thanksgiving "giving" back!!  You can either email me at llho@owu.edu or call 740-815-8088, please respond by August 15th so that we can start putting our team together!  Once I hear back from everyone, we will begin setting up monthly meetings between now and the trip to plan and prepare for our time together.


Finally, if you cannot make the week of Thanksgiving with Concord, but still have a desire to go serve the people of the Gulf Coast region please check out this all inclusive trip (http://www.psvonline.org/docs/PSVmissionworktrip.pdf) planned by the Scioto Valley Presbytery the week of October 11-17, 2008.

I cannot wait for yet another amazing opportunity for the family of Concord to serve God and His church together!


Blessings,
Lisa Ho
