2010 New Orleans

Our church's 8th trip to New Orleans was great. With the St. Bernard Project we worked in a house, finished painting, laid a hardwood floor, cut and painted base boards, and put in door framing. We also worked at the Rebuild Center (serving persons who are homeless), participated in a literacy program, did special projects in two homes of members of the church where we stayed, and made connection with the only African American UCC church in New Orleans. Thanks to our coordinator, Kathryn Oakes, we stayed at the Good Shepherd UCC and with Jason Hays' leadership we reflected on our personal transformation and changes while in New Orleans. We intend to have a program to share more from the 13 of us who participated and welcome you to join our church's 9th Trip in 2011.
