On March 4th we had a lock-in for the Mission kids. just a night of fun, food and spending some time together getting to know each other outside of working, and tool training. We had a great time! Everyone really got to know each other a lot better. It was a good night, especially as now we are heading into overdrive with community service and fundraising.
On July 17, 2011 we will be leaving St. Mary with a group of 32 high school students and chaperones and traveling to Copperhill, Tennessee, where we will be staying at Eagle Ranch (a Christian based mission camp) for 5 days. While we are there we will engage in a variety of habitat activities designed to help our kids grow in their faith and understanding of 'Know God, Know Love' through their actions of reaching out to those in need.
Prior to our trip, we will be working at all events and activities at St. Mary in an effort to raise money for our trip, as well as to have the kids get to know each other, learn to work together as a team, and to begin a way of life that includes service to others.
We will be using this blog site to keep everyone informed of what is going on with us, what fundraisers we will be holding, and to help you to get to know us and feel a part of what we are doing.
We enourage you to post any questions or comments about us, or our mission. We look forward to hearing what everyone has to say.
