WHEN: JULY 9th. - JULY 14th.
We will leave out early Monday morning, arrive early evening.
WHERE: GOD'S KATRINA KITCHEN, GULFPORT, MS.
See the website for God's Katrina Kitchen. This is a interfaith relief center that provides ongoing
relief for those still recovering from hurricanes KATRINA AND RITA.
This is a wonderful effort, the website shows it all. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE.

We will have the opportunity to do real work for people affected by these disasters. Check the section on projects to see who and what they accomplish.
We will be staying in bunkhouse, or dormitories at the relief center. Complete with full kitchen ( we will assist with meal preparation ). Plenty of showers, air conditioned. Males and females segregated.
Worship / Praise services each night. Lots of music, electric keyboard, drums. They have requested we bring all of our musicians. We may provide the speaker for one or more nights. Optional attendance at services. This is like the banner on the website says, MANY CHURCHES, ONE GOD. On the phone they mentioned Amish from Pennsylvania, Disciples, Methodists, even some lost Baptists.
Currently, we have committments from 16 area Disciple churches to send CYF on this mission trip. The estimate is about 100 people. These are the CYFer's you meet at conference and the other retreats.
We will leave Gulfport, MS. early Saturday morning, and arrive in Arlington early evening.
On the travel days, we will stop every 2 hours for a break, and have lunch somewhere on the road.
COST: $150.00 PER PERSON. This covers travel expense, 3 meals a day, recreational cost, one "dinner out".
Recreational cost is for the outside fun activities that we are planning.
We suggest you bring $100.00 for incidental expenses. This includes your lunch on the two travel days, personal snacks, souvenirs, etc.
Mark your calendars now. We will not require any funds until close to the trip.
Scholarships are available, please see Adam.
