P2P2 Missions will be returning for their second year of service. Students are asked to obtain a $75.00 sponsorship to assist in paying for the cost of work camp. Sponsorships allow them to support the P2P2 Missions whether or not they are able to attend. Thank You! The of Worship Poolesville to Piketon and Piketon to Poolesville Second Mission Trip Students caravan in private vehicles to Piketon High School where they will be housed again this year, providing the group a place to eat meals and sleep. Their daily routines include an eight hour workday with planned activities and devotional time set aside in the evening hours. Serving brothers and sisters is the purpose of their work. Work will consist of home and yard improvements such as repairing and replacing roofs, building wheelchair ramps, installing doors and windows, repainting and cleanup, etc. We would like to say Thank You to everyone for their caring and support in the benefit which helped to pay off some unexpected medical bills. It is really a privilege to work with great people and we work with some of the best. Again, Thank You All. Jim and Velma ngle Work Camp is a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and others. This year s activities and devotionals will center around the theme of The Heart of Worship. The designation, P2P2 Missions, recognizes the giving that will occur on this Mission trip. The Poolesville, Maryland group will be traveling to Piketon, Ohio to help people in need. We also know that Piketon will be giving Poolesville much more back in return. Please contact Pam Mustard at x200 if you would like to help or to a make monetary donation.
