4th Annual Mission Trip to Glenmary Farm, Vanceburg, Kentucky

A group of our young adults, from Spirit and Truth Linden and Perth Amboy are on a mission trip with the Glenmary Mission in Vanceburg, Kentucky this week.

They will be spending time away from their daily lives to focus on prayer and to be present to each other as well as the community they will be serving. The area has been greatly affected from floods this year, they will help with clean-up, construction, visits to homebound and in anyway they are called to serve. Most importantly they will be witnesses of our faith to each other and the people of Appalachia.

Let's lift up in prayer our missioners, the Glenmary mission and the people of Appalachia
