FIRST Senior High Mission Trip

Organized by the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem

 

Our own, Hank and Brittany Radcliffe, recently participated in the First Senior High Mission Trip. The team included sixteen 9-12th graders and seven adults from around our Diocese. They traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana to help with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.  They gutted, rebuilt, painted and did some landscaping work. The Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana served as their hosts.

You are invited to come along with them on this journey by visiting the new BioBeth youth ministries blog at:

www.diobethyouth.blogspot.com

All are invited to a post-mission-trip dinner and slideshow, Sunday, September 23 at 5 p.m. This event will be offered at two locations: Trinity, Bethlehem and Trinity, Mt. Pocono. See pictures and hear first hand from the senior-high mission team, of their work, fellowship and play time in New Orleans. Dinner tickets may be reserved up to two weeks in advance of the event and purchased at the door ($5 each). Contact Barbara Lewis at Diocesan House, by September 10:
