Intergenerational mission experience:
a serving and learning trip for all ages!* Saturday, June 27th - Friday, July 2nd Rapid City, South Dakota *The tradition at Glen Cary has been youth mission trips. We don’t want to diminish the strength of that experience for the youth who have been on those trips. If youth are excited about serving, but their family can’t attend, there will be designated chaperones and transportation for this part of the experience. Contact Carrie Stiles at stiles.carrie@hotmail.com with questions and for registration information. |
