Charity Auction for Mission Trip

My sister recently asked me if I would be interested in making a couple of things for a silent auction her church is having in May to help fund a mission trip to the Bahamas. so of course I said yes!


I wanted to share alittle about her and my 14 year old nephew's upcoming trip. My sister's church, Janes United Methodist Church, has put together a short-term mission trip to Nassau, Bahamas for August of this year. She will be part of a 30 member team who will repair schools, homes, and community areas. They will also conduct a Vacation Bible School in the part of Nassau where the Haitian immigrants live.


As you can imagine there is a cost for this trip, it will be approximately $1000 per person for air fare, lodging, needed supplies and materials. The team is sponsoring several fundraisers to earn money and they have been given the oppurtunity for individual sponsorship.


The Tot Tote and Hat I have made are going to be part of the Silent Auction the Church will be having. The Auction and Roast Beef dinner will be held on Sat, August 3rd from 4-7pm, in Fellowship Hall at Janes United Methodist Church.

If you are interested in making a tax deductable contribution or even being a sponser, here's the address :: Janes United Methodist Church, 213 Walnut Street, P.O. Box 242, Rising Sun, MD 21911-0242 Phone ::(410) 658-6800 (Please note contribution is for Deborah Wood)

If you cannot help in a finacial way please continue the support for this mission trip with your prayers for my sister, nephew and all others involved!!
