On February 22, sixteen of our adult members will be leaving for Biloxi, Mississippi to work with Habitat for Humanity’s effort to rebuild homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Bethel Lutheran Church in Biloxi will host our group. The team will need your prayers and financial support. It will cost about $400 - $450/person for transportation and lodging in Biloxi. We would also like to leave a financial gift for Bethel’s ongoing Katrina relief effort.
If you have a heart for this work and/or wanted to participate, but could not make the trip this time, the team needs your financial support. You can use the envelopes in the church pews or mail your donation to the church office. Please make your check out to Gethsemane and then mark the memo line for Katrina Relief. Thrivent Financial will match our combined donations dollar-for-dollar up to $300. So the first $300 donated will result in a $600 gift for the mission trip.
The Katrina Mission Team is as follows: Donna Anderson, Bill Arthur, Bob Dummer, Sandi Edenborg, Fred Hedberg, Susan Hedberg, Barb Krig, Margie Olson, Mike Paterson, Bev Paterson, Steve Pavelka, Jeanne Pavelka, Earl Rodine, Lisa Shelstad, Laurie Underkofler and Lori Youngvorst.
