Overnight Mission Trip
Saturday, May 17^th We leave Pierce UMC at 7 a.m. and drive to Camp Fontanelle to volunteer our muscles for their volunteer work day. We will be painting, sawing, clearing trails, etc. That evening Camp Fontanelle is showing “Find Nemo” on their huge outdoor screen on the grass (kinda like a drive-in theater minus the cars). Then, we would sleep in the lodge. On Sunday in the morning, we would head to Omaha to worship at a predominantly African-American United Methodist Church. Eat lunch and be home middle of the afternoon.

The VBS dates are Wednesdays, May 21 and 28, June 4, 11 and 25 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. We skip June 18 because I will be on vacation with my family.
