Mission Trip 2019

DONATE to the Mission Trip

Join your fellow parishioners from St Thomas and St John’s as we head to Floyd County Kentucky in the Appalachian Mountains to volunteer our time for a week of Christian Service.  Age 14 and older are welcome to join us – singles, families, retirees, grad students, engaged couples, empty nesters – anyone willing to work hard and grow in their faith.  (All skill levels welcome; no previous construction experience necessary.)

Serving side-by-side with staff from the Christian Appalachian Project (CAP), we will work on home improvement projects for area residents that cannot afford to do so on their own or are physically unable to do so.  The work may include building wheel chair ramps, re-roofing or siding houses, painting, landscaping, flooring, or any other needs the residents have around their home.

We will stay in one of CAP’s retreat centers with dorm style accommodations.  All meals will be prepared for us and evening activities will be planned for each day.  This is a great opportunity to help others, grow in your faith, and build community – both in Kentucky and at home in East Lansing.
