6 Sleeps and Counting

With six sleeps to go, planning has increased.

Thank you to everyone involved in the planning.  Many hands make light work.

Coming Together - Miles apart

Miles apart and the preparation continues.

A group of  brothers and sisters in Christ, young and old will meet on August 4, 2019 and finalize the arrangements for the Mission Trip to Southend, Saskatchewan.

Some of us know each other already and some are new to the group.  Some of us have visited Southend before and others a first trip.

So much to plan and so much to think about and so much more joy and peace to share.

Follow our blog and join us on our miraculous mission to share God's love and light with the northern Saskatchewan community of Southend.
