Mission Trips
A mission trip is a profound and life-changing experience. It is an opportunity for adults and youth to move safely out of their secure worlds into one of hardship and need and to witness, first-hand, the power of a few individuals working faithfully together towards a common goal.
Emmanuel Church mission trips are challenging, memorable and inspirational. They bring out the best in all who participate - empathy, humility, understanding, personal sacrifice, hard work and compassion.
2011 Youth Mission Trip
Plans are in the works for the 2011 youth mission trip to Webster County, WV, July 3-9. This trip is for youth ages 13 and up. If you would like to attend, you must turn in a non-refundable $50 deposit to the church office no later than September 27 in order to reserve your spot. Please make checks payable to Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The total cost of the trip will be determined once all the numbers are in, obviously the more people that attend, the lower the cost of the trip. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Armstrong.
Youth will be participating in a Group Work Camp in Webster County, WV. A Group Work Camp is a big, high energy camp experience where youth will serve people in need through challenging home repair projects! For six days, they’ll join other youth groups to repair sagging porches, rebuild unsafe steps and wheelchair ramps, and paint homes. They’ll transform a house and God will transform their faith.
The group will be encouraged daily through prayers, group devotions, and evening worship services. The interdenominational worship programs are designed specifically for youth. Programs are designed to be high energy and high impact and feature popular Christian music, professionally produced videos, and challenging presentations, all designed to help the youth take their faith to the next level. Activities are scheduled every evening that will provide plenty of opportunity to get to know the other youth from all across the country. Group Work Camps has been offering this balance of Christian service, faith and fun for over 23 years!
