Young Adults Mission Trip:
Iowa Disaster Response

Saturday, August 2–Friday, August 8

As you all know, our neighbors in Iowa have been devastated by the flooding that took place there this spring. We will be participating in the denomination’s Presbyterian Disaster Assistance response there.

Join us for a week of honest, joyful, hands-on work cleaning up from flooding and making churches and homes safe again. Connect with families and other young adults as we seek to fulfill the church’s mission to help those in need. The trip will cost around $300 per person (including travel and lodging). Financial assistance is available for those in need.

 If you have other questions, would like to receive an information packet, or to sign up for the trip, contact Adam Fronczek at
afronczek@fourthchurch.org
