Mission Trips
Our fourth and final mission trip to New Orleans
took place in early April 2011. The team performed repair projects
for those in the parish of St. Peter Claver Church. Contact Rev. Debby Lawrence at
303/722-5736 or
dlawrence@universityparkumc.org if you would like to participate in
future mission trips to New Orleans or
elsewhere within the U.S. or South
America.
In New Orleans, our first Mission
Team helped Miss Angela repair water damage to her home.
In return, she fed us
crawdad étouffée and other New Orleans goodies. [See photo to left,

Our first mission trip to Guatemala
was November 28-December 5, 2009.
Led by UPark member
George Gramer,
a team of
13 delivered medical supplies and OTC
medicines to Quetzaltenango.
The team also
worked on a dormitory
for a school. It was a beautiful country
and a rewarding experience,
and the
follow-up trip will be November 26 to December 4, 2011. Plans
are
being made at the present time and we welcome new missioners.
