Planned trips to help out in Hurricane areas

a/o 10/14/05: There are a number of teams scheduled to go to work in hurricane recovery from our annual conference. I was in
                           contact with the Volunteers In Mission coordinator for the Texas Annual Conference (Houston area) who said they
                             need teams in the Beaumont, Texas area. Louisiana has  said  that they can use as many teams as we can send.
                             The need is great. 

                        Mark Ewing will be leading a team out of St Paul Las Cruces Oct 22-29. He still has spots on that team available.
                        You can contact Mark directly at St Paul UMC
                         505-526-6689 spoffice@zianet.com  for more information.

                        Rev. Archie Echols will be leading a team out of First Roswell Nov. 8-12 and has spots available on his team as well.
                         You can contact him at 505-622-1881
                         FirstRoswell@dfn.com 

                        There are also teams planned around the Christmas break as well as Spring break. There will be more info on these
                         teams as we get closer to the dates, and more details become available. If you would like to form a team please
                         contact me.
                        Teams will most likely be housed in local churches, and may need to provide for their own food.

                        Blessings!
