On The Go

SERVANT EVENTS Since 2003, members of our youth group have gone on short-term servant trips during the summer. The previous three trips were hosted by Youthworks, Inc (www.youthworks.com). During those trips we had the opportunity to serve the Lord in a new environments along side of kids from other parts of the county. We have learned about ourselves and our faith. Although we were sent to serve, we received an opportunity to see how the Holy Spirit works through us as well as others! Past Floyd-Willis Youth Mission Trip Locations

In June 2006 a team of six older youth and one adult advisor made the trip to Port Charlotte Florida to assist in the rebuilding efforts from Hurricane Charley (2004). The trip was coordinated through Lutheran Disaster Relief/Lutheran Services of Florida. The work in Port Charlotte was arranged by the Interfaith/Interagency Network of Charlotte County (www.iincc.org). The team spent four days doing soffits work in the Florida heat (nearing 100 degrees) and spent their nights at Peace Lutheran Church in Port Charlotte (who has been housing volunteers since right after Hurricane Charley). They also build some shelves at Peace Lutheran for their Homeless Ministry (at night).
