Henderson Settlement Mission Trip
Common Cup is planning a mission trip to Henderson Settlement in Frakes, Kentucky next spring.
All members and friends of our Common Cup churches are welcome to participate on this mission trip. Participants should be in high school or older. Frakes, Kentucky is located in the Laurel Fork Valley of Southeastern Kentucky.
The dates of the trip are April 18 through April 21, 2010.
We will leave from Faith Community around 1 pm on Sunday, April 18 and return in the early afternoon on Wednesday, April 21. The total cost of the trip is $85/person which includes transportation, meals, and lodging.
We will leave from Faith Community around 1 pm on Sunday, April 18 and return in the early afternoon on Wednesday, April 21. The total cost of the trip is $85/person which includes transportation, meals, and lodging. We will use the church van for transportation. You can use a personal vehicle at your own expense. Meals covered on the trip are Sunday dinner, all three meals on Monday and Tuesday, and breakfast on Wednesday. We will sleep either in a campus home at Henderson or on the lower bunks in the dorm with separate rooms for guys and girls. Dorms are accessible. This is not a busy time of year, so we will have plenty of space.
During our two work days you can expect to help in the greenhouse, work on campus, or assist with a home repair project. All work will match the skill level of participants.
In the evenings Henderson staff will provide an educational program and you can enjoy some free time in the mountains.
The purpose of this mission trip is to develop a partnership between our Common Cup Churches and Henderson Settlement, grow in our understanding of missions, create friendships with one another, and share in the love of God with the people of SE Kentucky.
Many thanks to Ruthanne and Bill Lamb who will host our group during this mission trip!
Please register with Pastor Rick for this trip. You will need to read a 6 page Work Camp Handbook, sign a covenant, complete medical release forms, and make your payment by January 31. These forms are available in the office or you can have them sent to you. Just email Pastor Rick at AssocPastor@fcum.org with your preference.
