We owe a great deal to the men and women who

have served our country in the military. This is

especially true when a young man or woman returns

from service and has difficulty adjusting to civilian

life due to pain or trauma. We need to do all we can

to help our veterans through challenging times. We

need to serve those who have served us so bravely.

With this in mind, we are opening sign ups for our Veterans Day

Weekend (November 10-13) Mission trip. We will be helping

out at the Veterans Restoration Quarters (VRQ) near Asheville,

NC. The VRQ provides housing, counseling, and job training to

roughly 240 men who have served America. Others of us will be

working with female veterans or in other worthy charities around

the Asheville area.

Everyone can go. Youth under 16 will need to go with a parent

or guardian (this is designed primarily as a family trip). We will

be staying at the Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain. Most

meals are covered. There will be some free time on Saturday to

group up and explore Asheville or to hike on the property. Cost

per person is only $100. Sign up and pay in the church office

(you are not signed up until you pay).

This is a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages, different

Sunday School classes, and folks from both worship services to

come together as a church serving God by serving others! The

deadline for payment is September 1st. Please see me for further

details.

Peace,

Doug
