Mission Trips 2010!

PCOTW has a long history of youth mission trips.  In 2009, our middle school youth spent a weekend at Presbyterian Clearwater Forest helping them prepare for the summer campers, while our high school youth spent a week in New Orleans rebuilding and helping at an day camp for at-risk kids.  The trips are primarily supported by fundraisers and donations from the congregation.

Need ideas?

Do you have a unique skill you could teach others?  How about a 1-2 hour lesson.

Do you have particular knowledge - computer tech, accounting, handyperson, babysitting?  How about a few hours of assistance in your area of knowledge?

Can you cook or bake?  Provide a homecooked meal or fresh baked deserts.

Do you have a boat or cabin?  Give a ride or weekend rental.

Are you crafty?  Donate a quilt, scarf or purse.

Have season tickets?  Provide tickets for a game or two.

Still thinking?  How about putting together a theme basket?  Kids...books...summer fun...crafts...spa day?

 

We are looking forward to another great event!
