Helping Hands Mission Trip to

Mississippi in January

Let's finish off what we started one year ago!  In November, 2008, a group of Helping Hands volunteers poured the concrete floor of a small Baptist Church in Cary, Mississippi.  Now, that new church building is constructed, shingled with windows and doors installed.  Let's come alongside these fellow believers and help them finish the wiring, insulating and sheet rocking on their new Church!  Our group will be leaving on Saturday, January 9, 2009, at 3:00 am, and returning on the evening of Saturday, January 16.  Please pray for us as we prepare, Lord willing, to lend a helping hand to those in need.  If you would like to join us or if you have any questions, please contact:
