Trip Journal Click on the above link and save the PowerPoint program to your computer to view the pictures from this years trip.   2006 UMCOR Mission Team Perryville UMC Mission Team delivered 90 gallons of bleach to UMCOR to aid those cleaning up after Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast area.      This year we missed our friend Kay Johnson, as we traveled to Louisiana.  I will never be able to go there again without thinking of her.  She was there in spirit watching as we carried on the tradition of our faith.      There were groups from across the US who came to give their time and talents to aid those who were hurting, without homes and without the simplest assets, like soap, toothpaste, bandaids, combs, wash cloths and towels.  Texas boasted 2 groups from the Lonestar state, groups from Sulphur Springs and Tyler, great people to work and fellowship with during our stay @ UMCOR. They went to serve people in need around the world and at home. And the mission continues after they leave UMCOR and return home, as the membership begins gathering kits to aid disaster relief to send next year.  How are you willing to help in the effort?  You may be unable to travel to UMCOR Sager-Brown but there are dozens of ways you can be in mission doing this work right here at home.  Contact any of the Mission team members to find out how you can best help in this effort.

TEACH US HOW TO LIVE God of love -- forgive! forgive! Teach us how to truly live, Ask us not our race or creed Just take us in our hour of need, Let us know You love us too, And that we are a part of You.. And someday may man realize, That all the earth, the seas and skies.. Belong to God who made us all, The rich, the poor, the great, the small, And in the Father's Holy sight, No man is yellow, black or white. And Peace On Earth cannot be found, Until we meet on Common Ground, And every man becomes a brother, Who worships God and loves each other. ~~Author Unknown
