CEDAR GROVE 2009 MISSIONS TRIPS
INFORMATION LUNCH MEETING
Sunday, Dec. 7, 12:15–1:45 pm Room 101
Cedar Grove will have two opportunities to work with our missionaries overseas this coming year. The first is May 1-17, 2009. Tim Fuller will be leading a team of Cedar Grove volunteers to Fontaine L’Eveque (Bishop Fountain) outside of Brussels, Belgium. This project is a continuation of a 2005 Cedar Grove team trip that Tim Fuller was a part of, working with Kim Garrity of Greater Europe Missions on a church building renovation project. The congregation named the project “Olivier” (olive branch) which strives to bring an airy, light space to this particularly dark area of Belgium (both physically and spiritually). This year, our Cedar Grove team hopes to work on the latest phase of this project by tearing down a wall leading into a glass atrium area which will relieve an already cramped sanctuary.
Tim shares: “This will be my 6th trip working with Greater Europe Mission. If you don’t mind getting a little dirty and would like the opportunity to stay with families, discover their culture, share meals and worship with them, I hope you will join me. I can’t tell you how much being a part of Euro team has enriched my life. I’ll see you there.”
The second opportunity we will be highlighting at the Information meeting, is a Cedar Grove missions trip this coming summer to Little Flock Orphanage in India. The team will be led by Carolyn Pura, a board member of Little Flock Orphanage, who has been there many times herself and keeps in close contact with the orphanage. There is much work to be done at the orphanage site. From all reports, a couple of weeks of interacting with the children and staff and you’ll be ready to go back again! Carolyn will share all the details and pictures to help you consider how you could be a part of this—praying, giving or going!
Mark your calendars for Sunday December 7th 12:15–1:45 pm in Room 101. Come and find out more about both upcoming trips. There will be lots of information, pictures and video, as well as an opportunity for you to ask all your questions as you consider becoming involved. Lunch will be served.
