MSY Summer Mission Trip to Atlanta!

It is official that the 6-7th grade youth group is going on a mission trip next summer! They will have the chance to serve the homeless and the needy in Atlanta, GA through the DOOR organization. They will be going July 19-26th 2009. DOOR provides work opportunities and group gathering and devotional time each day. There will be a free evening on Wednesday where we will explore downtown Atlanta. We are staying at Central Presbyterian Church until the 25th. The group will be spending a morning at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA. They will get to experience mass and pray vigils with the monks, who will also provide interesting demonstrations like how to grow bonsai. Sunday, the group will be attending Oakhurst Presbyterian Church that is in Decatur (near Colombia Seminary). Oakhurst is a completely integrated church that was one of the first to open their doors to African Americans during the worst of the race riots that in the 60's. We are very excited to be able to give the kids this opportunity next summer.
