Get Ready for MOSAIC!
This year for our Senior High Missions Experience we will be participating in MOSAIC the summer youth missions camp of First United Methodist Church Long Beach, MS. As many of you may remember but a crew of you do not, we started a long standing relationship with FUMC Long Beach in 2006 the summer after Hurricane Katrina. We had a 50 person youth team and a 20 person adult team that spent two weeks at the church working with it & its community recovery of the hurricane in August of 2005. Rebuilding still goes on, and will for many years. Due to that we have had a number of adult teams that have returned to FUMC and Long Beach. This will be our first time down as a youth team since the summer of 2006.
This years Senior High Missions Experience will be at the same time as the NWG Choir tour, we are in conversations with the folks at FUMC about bringing the tour to the area and helping out with some of the work during the week as well. It is sure to be a special time whichever experience you partake in.
We’ve been waiting on a few logistics to clear up before we promoted this fully. So here is the experience as its currently set.
