Spring Break Mission Trip!

Hey Youth!  Bill here, and I’m so excited to announce that we have opened registration for this years Spring Break Mission Trip!

This year, from March 11-16,  HPUMC Youth will road trip to San Antonio, Texas to help underprivileged people transform their houses to make them safe, dry, and warm.  Many of these homeowners are living in houses that have holes in the roof or rotten walls, and so we will be doing a good mix of flooring, sheet rocking, painting, and even some roofing for the older kids!  Since San Antonio has some of the highest per-capita deficient housing levels in the state, there will certainly be a lot of work to do.  This year, we are working through an excellent ministry group that is used to housing large teams like ours – we will sleep at their dorms, eat meals cooked by their staff, and worship in their sanctuary!  I just got back from a scouting trip to check the place out and meet some of the homeowners, and I think this might be the most excited I’ve been for a mission trip in a very long while – our hosts were incredibly hospitable, and the homeowners were so gracious and humbled by the work being done.  One homeowner had picture albums of every team that had worked on his house – these were his prized possessions, and he could tell stories about each of them.  We will work all day, have amazing worship in the evenings, and then get to spend some great time bonding as a community at night.  The early bird registration cost is only $520 if you sign up before the deadline– that’s cheaper than last year!


The HPUMC youth staff is coming – are you?
