Every year, when we get within about 2 weeks of the high school mission trip, I start to get really excited. I also go into a frenzy of making sure we are really and truly prepared, that everyone has all the information they need, that all the forms and fees have been turned in and paid, etc. This year is no exception! I am excited, antsy, and totally calm all rolled into one.
I was so pleased with our parent meeting on Sunday! It was great to have the team and their biggest supporters in attendance. I am also really excited about our commissioning on Sunday morning. That tends to be a really sweet experience and I am hoping the students will be reminded that we are being sent out as ambassadors for Christ from our great congregation.
Earlier today I spoke with our great mission contact in New Orleans, or NOLA, as I like to call it. Her name is Toni and she is just a delight. She has great sites lined up for us and can't wait for the return of our team. Likewise, I cannot wait to see her again. She is a blessing to the teams that stay at Celebration Church and she is clearly a woman who loves the Lord and loves His people. Please be praying for her and the ministry of Celebration! Please also remember to pray for the team and the trip, now just 10 days away!
Peace, Hannah
