Our team is all set and ready to go. We leave for BWI this Sunday at 6am and should arrive at Spirit Lake Ministry Center in North Dakota around 5pm. Our team consists of myself (Chris Kessler), Cobi Kepner, Jane Freed, Kim Richardson and Ruby & Larue Olson. Most of the team is from Messiah UMC in North York. Jane is from First UM in Lewistown, PA. That's about 2 hrs away from us so you don't see her pic in any of the pre trip gatherings, but she is not a newbee to mission work by any means. And I am from CityView CC on the West side of York and I am the team leader for our trip.
Here we are (Larue & Ruby, Cobi, Chris & Kim) sporting our cool hats that the Messiah women's group the "Knit Wits" made for us. They along with "Stitches of Love" donated lots & lots of beautiful hand knitted hats, scarves, mittens and sweaters. Cobi boxed them up & sent them out ahead of us so they will be there for us to distribute on the reservation.
We had our fundraiser last month - "Ruby's Frybread Dinner". It was a success and we want to thank everyone who participated....especially our Frybread cook with the secret recipe, Ruby!
