Warren Connecticut

On July 1, 2006, the Warren Church Senior Youth group will leave on a mission trip to New Orleans with the youth group from Goshen Church of Christ Congregational to aid families affected by Hurricane Katrina. We are a group of seven Warren teens and two adults and we will be engaged in hands on construction and refurbishing of local structures that were damaged by the hurricane and subsequently by the flooding. We will also try to reach out and interact directly with local residents. Each individual on the team was responsible for raising sufficient funds to pay for airfare, accommodations, transportation, food, and the cost of materials and supplies. A big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us in this effort. We hope to provide a meaningful opportunity for our youth group to reach out to those in need!!

We will be selling geraniums at the Memorial Day parade in the center of Warren on Sunday at noon. These funds will further aid people in the New Orleans area. Please stop by the Youth Group table.

We look forward to sharing the highlights of our trip with everyone when we return.

Bob and Kathy Newton
