Less than a Month

It's hard to believe, but in less than one month another team from St. John's Lutheran will be heading to Haiti! Greer Putnam, our fearless leader, is again heading up the team. Joining him from last year's group are Jim "the hills are alive" Lofgren, Paul "would you like to see this shoe in another size?" Swicord, Susan "can I have another?" Gutjahr, and me, Sarah "le champion" Finger. The new members of our team include Cynthia Campbell, Liz and Tom DeMik, Jennifer Hills, Mark Bacon, Julie Heck, and possibly a couple more! We depart for Haiti on Friday, May 14 and will return Wednesday, May 19. Our group is busy purchasing supplies, gathering donations, and praying for a successful trip. We are all excited as we look forward to painting (with oil paint!) Village of Hope school; visiting the children at Little Children of Jesus Home for the Disabled and Grace Orphanage and School; and getting to know one another since not all of us are from St. John's!

Please pray for us as we continue preparations for our trip! St. John's will be holding a "commissioning and sending" at the 10:45 a.m. service on Sunday, May 9. We hope to see you there!
