​Mission Team Appalachia

Your prayers are the most important tools that we took with us!!!!!

St. Mary’s Appalachian Mission Team 
They asked for your prayer support as they brought the love and compassion of our Parish family to a community desperately in need of help.  
The team worked an eight week campaign in preparation for their service to those living in the poverty stricken Appalachian Mountain area.  
Poverty in Appalachia is a major problem; widespread, severe and greatly unnoticed. The eight week fund-raising mission's focus was on bringing awareness to the need and suffering of God’s people in Appalachia.  Together, our response to this mission allowed St. Mary’s Team to bring new life to a community!  
Our mission project focused on home updating and repair.

PLUGGING IN TO YOUR PRAYER~ Here are some ways we stayed connected to our Mission Team while they were serving in Appalachia:   
  • We wrorte notes to our Team, or a particular team member. Letters were left in the collection basket to be packed to travel with the Team. 
  • Checking Facebook and our St. Mary’s Parish Website for pictures and service updates kept everyone abreast of the team on Mission. 
  • Tweet! Some folks posted a note (or two) of encouragement for the Team or posted a prayer for the Appalachian people.
  • Participation in our “Mission Week” Raffle by purchasing a Raffle Calendar.  Calendars were on sale for $10 until June 21st to help inspire continued prayer and help to keep our mission team connected to our parish family. Each day during the week the Team was serving,  a name was drawn, and a cash prize was awarded to the person selected.
