Mission to Pensacola, FL!
In June 2006, 9 St. John's members went to Pensacola, FL to help in the ongoing work to restore houses affected by the 2004 hurricane Ivan. We worked through Rebuild Northwest Florida and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance which have stepped up to assist those who have no where else to turn.
The group worked on one house, tearing out water-damaged drywall and wallpaper and replacing with new wallboard and a fresh coat of paint. The week went by fast, but we made a big difference. Our goal was to show the love of Christ in the giving of our time and efforts.
This mission trip could only have happened with the support of the members of St. John's, to whom we owe much thanks! Please check out pictures from the trip here. Keep in mind, there are a lot of pictures of us goofing off, only because that's when we had the most free hands for taking pictures. You'll see we worked hard too!
