Mission Trip Wrap-Up from Lisa Perez, Youth Minister
Thank you so much for your support of our yearly Youth Mission Trip. We have safely returned from a wonderful, exhausting, spirit-filled, full-of-laughter trip to Las Cruces, NM! I hope you kept up with the trip through Rev. Peggy's posts on the St. Alban's Facebook page. She also spoke about it in this sermon.
10 Youth and 7 Adults served: El Caldito Soup Kitchen, Mesilla Valley Animal Center, Casa de Peregrinos, Rio Grande Borderland Ministries, Ronald McDonald House of El Paso, and St. James Episcopal Church of Las Cruces. We cooked, cleaned, organized, served meals, walked dogs, cleaned cat cages, organized and distributed two mobile food pantries, trimmed bushes and trees, moved furniture, and more. And we did all of this living in community with each other!
The generosity, prayer and financial, of the people of St. Alban's never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for your continued support of Youth Ministry at St. Alban's.
