As I announced in Church last week, Christ Memorial will be sponsoring a mission trip to the Anglican Diocese of Peru this September. The plan is to take 10-15 people for a 7 day trip to Lima and/or other areas in Peru to work with the women and children of the diocese as teachers and helpers. While we don't know exactly what we will be doing yet, we will probably be teaching bible studies or maybe even a Vacation Bible School. We will work with the Peruvian women's groups to provide instruction and support. We may be assisting with after school care for young people or helping to teach skills to women in job training programs. Whatever we end up doing, we will be sharing in the Love of Christ with them and they with us, and we will come home with a greater appreciation of how His Grace touches and moves people around the world.
We will be have our first team meeting on Tuesday, February 15 at 6:30PM in the Parlor. Anyone who is interested should come to this meeting so that we can make our plans for raising the necessary funds and working toward our departure in September.
If you have any questions about the trip or would like to discuss it prior to the meeting on the 15th, please call me, and I'll be happy to help.
Fr. Michael+
