NOLA Mission Team gearing up from trip.

The NOLA (New Orleans, Louisiana) Mission Team is gearing up for its work in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans, LA. during the week of Oct. 7 through Oct. 14.

The team consist of ten members of United Methodist congregations in Henderson. Four members of Bennett Memorial UMC, and three each from Chapel Hill UMC and Henderson First UMC.

The teams intention is to be involved in the beginning stages of construction, repairing and renovating homes in suburban areas of New Orleans.

Demolition and cleanup has been taking place until this month in these areas, now the rebuilding begins.

Your prayers and financial support are appreciated.

We have endured a number of severe storms in Henderson in recent weeks and over the past year. Two of these storms have been described, in terms of rainfall, as the two greatest (or worst) in our community's recorded history.
But we know that what New Orleans and the Gulf Coast endured were far worse.

The Methodist churches of Henderson and Henderson County have joined together in Christian love and service to return to the Gulf Coast to help with the rebuilding of communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
Our latest mission trip takes us to New Orleans from Oct. 7 to 14, 2006, where we endeavor to do God's work.
