New Orleans Mission Trip  Emmanuel Church mission trip to New Orleans was the week of Saturday, April 12th through Saturday, April 19th. The group worked for Hands on New Orleans, www.handsonneworleans.org. Since March, 2006, Hands on New Orleans has brought in over 5,000 volunteers to assist in rebuilding the neighborhoods of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Thank you to the parishioners and friends of Emmanuel Church for your support of our mission. You can find reports about the trip in the April and May 2008 entries on the Emmanuel Blog and photos in our online photo album. What is it about? Two things: our personal spiritual discipline and our ability to fund the work that God calls us to do in and through Emmanuel Church. We believe that giving is a spiritual discipline and is an important component of our spiritual practice. It helps us to hold on loosely to the things of this world. We also believe that God is working in and through the people of Emmanuel Church. It takes money to do God's work. We believe that the work that we do is worth supporting financially. We believe that God transforms the world through people like you and me who have made a commitment to being God's instruments in the world! We believe that being a disciple of Jesus Christ is exciting and enriching. We believe in what we are doing! We continue to collect pledges for 2008. If you have not yet made yours please do so as soon as possible. We can only reach this ambition goal with your help. Pledge onlne here. |
