Getting Ready for North Carolina

 Old Union Presbyterian Church will send a team to North Carolina for a second year to assist with the rebuilding following the floods in September 2024 from Hurricane Helene.  We have sixteen people on the crew, thirteen of whom were on last year's trip.  We will work once again with the Henderson County Habibat for Humanity, which was a great partner for us last year.  We will stay at Lutheridge, a Christian campground about 20 minutes away from where we'll be working.  Watch for more information to come! In the meantime, we'd greatly appreciate your prayers: For safety For effective quality work For opportunities to witness to God's love
