Team Jamaica 2008 Gearing up!
Help support Dawn and Ted during their second Medical, Dental and Optical Mission trip!
Team Jamaica; a Medical, Dental and Optical Mission sponsored by St. Luke's United Methodist Church, began preparations for their 2008 trip when the Team Jamaica Core Leadership team met in July. MUMC members Dawn & Ted Eckbreth have joined this years leadership team. Both Dawn and Ted became "hooked" on mission work after last year's mission experience.
The team, which consists of 22 members, will depart for Jamaica in early February, 2008. Dawn reported; "We will be incredibly busy between now and then". "The team will be meeting at least once a month for team building meetings, sorting of medications and education".
Currently, the team is collecting over the counter medications for the trip. Here is your chance to do mission work...without leaving home. You can purchase as many of the items listed below; then drop them off in the collection box, located in our Sanctuary, from now until October 7th. Please make sure the item has an expiration date of September, 2008 or later.
Keep checking the web site for all the details regarding Team Jamaica as we will update monthly.
