NEWS!!!

We now have a group on Facebook:

We've been busy planning various fundraisers, and wanted to take this opportunity to THANK EVERYONE who has supported us!! To date, we've raised almost almost $2,000!
Here is a list of upcoming events we are planning:

Wednesday, March 18 & Thursday, March 19th: Lowe's Training
-The Mission Team will undergo a two hour training to "prep" us for the amazing work we have been called to do in New Orleans! From site safety to sheet rocking, from painting to beginning electrical work...we will be busy! Please Pray for us!!
Sunday, March 15th-April, 5th: Encouragement Eggs are on sale at Grace Lutheran Church, Nashua, NH
- Encouragement Eggs are small plastic eggs with a string attached to them. Every year people purchase these eggs, write a note of "Eggcouragement", love, etc. to family and friends, then hang the eggs on our "Encouragement Egg Tree". The New Orleans Team collect all of the eggs, put them in separate bags for each person, and distributes the eggs! It's a really cool way to show people Jesus' love :)
Sunday, May 3rd-Sunday, May 24th: "The Sweet Life"
-Tubes of Mini M&M's are slightly adjusted (a really special saying is taped to each tube) and distributed to members & friends of our Mission Team, Grace Lutheran Church, and Messiah Lutheran Church. Each person who takes a tube gets to eat the M&M's, then fill the tube with changes, cash, and/or checks...all to help our team!
Saturday, May 30th: Jambalaya Dinner & Silent Auction @ Grace Lutheran Church
-Our Mission Team will host a really yummy, New Orleans, classic dinner! There will be lots of items up for "auction" (i.e. a handmade quilt, Longhorn gift certificate, original artwork, and MUCH MORE!) Everyone is welcome! Tickets and additional information will be available by late April.


As everyone can see, we are really busy! So, PLEASE keep us in your prayers. If you are unable to attend our events but would like to make a donation towards our trip, please contact Alison Efstathiou at youthdirector@glcmsnh.org THANK YOU!!
