Support Emily’s trip to Liberia

During all our worship services this past weekend we introduced you to Emily Sherwood. Emily grew up in our church and will be spending two months this summer working as an individual volunteer in mission in Liberia. While there, Emily will be teaching English to children.

I hope you will consider supporting Emily in this endeavor. Here’s a few ways you can help.

• Pray for Emily! In fact, go ahead and start praying for Emily today. Ask God to bless her on this trip. Ask for traveling mercies for her as she makes this long journey. Pray for the kids she will be serving in Liberia.
• Purchase school supplies for the children! At the bottom of this note, you can find more information about the supplies Emily needs!
• Make a financial gift! Not only does Emily have traveling and living expenses while in Liberia, she is also raising funds to ship all the supplies we will be donating to Liberia.

Here’s the supplies she is collecting.

• Basic school supplies, including pencils, pencil sharpeners, pens, paper, crayons, markers, spiral notebooks, construction paper, scissors, glue, rulets, etc.
• Books for children ages 6-18. Preferably non-textbooks. English is the preferred language.

These can be either new or gently used items.

Donations may be brought to the Wesley Mission Center during the week or droped off at the Mission Connection desk [located adjacent to the main sanctuary] after any worship service.

If you would like to read more about Emily’s preparation, see pictures from her trip last summer, and follow her on this journey, please visit her blog, emilyinliberia.wordpress.com.

Thank you for supporting Emily!
