Mission Mexico 2009 ready to take flight

On Sunday afternoon our Baptist Mission team met for lunch. We began by reintroducing ourselves and then listening to Carol Wojcik and Carol Calkins and a few other others who went on our previous trips. They shared some of their experiences and what being a part of the team meant to them.

We had lunch and then Pastor Michelle and I talked about some of the logistics of the trip. I passed out a ton of papers including information about Mexico, the air travel itinerary, and some forms that need to be filled out.

We also spent a few minutes talking about our fund raisers. On Sunday, July 11th we will be hosting as many people as we can at Papa Ginos on West Main Street for lunch. We get 20% of all the proceeds of anyone who comes in with a flyer. We are also going to have a bake sale in conjunction with the event and we get 100% of that. We have flyers at church for those who want to come. There will also be some at the cash register for those who ask for them. The event will run from 11:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. We are also planning to set up our slide show featuring pictures from the last two years.

We closed our meeting by taking a group picture. 14 of our team members were present.


Our next meeting will be on January 25 at First Baptist at 4:00 p.m.
