Merry Christmas!
Applications are now available for the 2012 New Orleans Mission Trip! If you (or your child) are interested in participating in our New Orleans rebuilding trip this July 7 - 14, please complete the application (link below) and return it to Beth or Matt McMurphy or the St. Raphael Parish Office at 1104 Fifth St. in San Rafael by Friday, January 6.
What happens after Jan. 6, you ask? Once we have read your application, you will be invited in for a brief (20-minute) informal panel interview during the week of Jan. 8 - 14. You and two other applicants will talk with and have an opportunity to ask questions of Matt, Beth, and representatives from our youth leadership team. Once we have concluded all the interviews, the leadership team will meet and select participants. If you are selected, your team leader will call you personally. If we cannot include you this year, we will also call and let you know, and we hope that you will be able to apply next year.
We will jump right into trip preparations once our team is set. Each team member will be given a packet of paperwork (permission forms, etc.) to complete and return, along with a $100 deposit by Feb. 1. We will have our first team fundraising activity -- a letter-writing workshop -- on Jan. 28th in the computer lab at St. Raphael School. A parent meeting will be planned for late January or early February, as well. More information on all of these will be forthcoming, but I wanted to share this much so that it is on your radar.
We hope you will be able to join us to ReNew Orleans!
