Mission Trips Summer 2007


There are a variety of mission trips available for youth in the Diocese of Georgia. For youth who are in high school there is a trip planned for July 6-12 Mobile, Alabama. For those of you who attended the mission trip last summer, we will be continuing the work we did last year. There is still much work to be done to bring the Gulf Coast back to the standards that preceeded the Hurricanes of 2005. The cost of this trip is $265.00. This fee includes all food, transportation and other expences.


For high school students who are looking for a more than just a mission trip, PYE is offered. PYE is "Provincial Youth Event". This event takes place once every 3 years. It includes 20 diocese in nine south east states. 10 people from each of these dioceses will meet in Bay St. Louis, Misissippi for fun fellowship, worship, playing, and oh yeah... mission work. The cost of this trip is $350.00 which includes all food and transportation. PYE will take place on July 17-22. Registration will close on April 20th.
