Swansboro, North Carolina -- Sunday, March 17 - Friday, March 22

Hurricane Florence flooded many homes in North Carolina’s coastal area in September, hurting the people there and creating a need for mission volunteers to help with recovery. Shady Grove is looking for people to serve on a team going to Swansboro, NC in March to clean up and possibly repair flooded homes. An informational meeting for anyone who would like help with this effort will be held Sunday, February 3 at 12:30 p.m. in Room G113. As with all mission teams, work skills are useful but not necessary. There are many ways to help and serve. The team will depart from church on Sunday, March 17 and return on Friday, March 22. Housing for team members during their stay will be provided in the Swansboro area, probably in a local church.
