Trinity United Methodist Church in York, SC
Wednesday nights have always had an interesting dymanic in our family. In almost all congregations we’ve served, Wednesday night has meant choir practice. Anna really enjoys singing in the choir, and I enjoy every opportunity I can have to hang around the members of the congregation and listen to what’s on your minds. Some Sundays are so busy that I don’t even get to the choir room in time to pray before the worship service, and I certainly don’t get a chance (more…)
I know that I promised to try to update this blog during the week we were gone, but I overestimated the amount of discretionary time I would have. Working at Sager Brown, seeing some of the sights in the area, and all of the other activities that we were involved in kept us all busy. We are safely back in York, feeling blessed by all that happened, and looking forward to some rest, some dieting, and some time with family. (more…)
We made it safely to Baldwin, LA on Sunday about 5:15 their time. We spent Saturday night in D’Iberville, attended worship at Heritage UMC, the place where our UMVIM teams stay when working on Katrina Relief, and then began the long journey through pouring rain to Baldwin. Our worship service featured a missionary speaker. She was born in Zimbabwe of missionary parents, and is serving as an RN in Cambodia. Her testimony reminded us all of God’s loving presence all around the world, and prepared us for our work here, which will reach people in need in places where disaster has struck. Kenny Jones drove us through some horrible rain before we arrived safely here. Last night we were introduced to the staff and received just a little orientation. This morning we began our work.

It’s Friday night before we leave for Baldwin LA and the Sager Brown Mission Depot. The bags are packed, and we’ve done all that we can do before leaving. A team of 13 of us from Trinity are going to go and work in the depot. If you watch this space, we’ll send updates during our trip. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and as we represent Trinity and seek to help share the love of Christ through missions.
Gene Feagin, Pastor
