Upcoming Mission Opportunty:

Re-Member Mission Trips

to Pine Ridge Reservation,
South Dakota

There are three opportunities for you to visit beautiful Pine Ridge Reservation and experience firsthand the realities of life as a Lakota.

 June 1-8 for people age 13+ has ten openings

 Family Week is June 29-July 6 for families with children ages 6-12 and has 15 openings.

 Our High School trip is July 13-20 for people age 13+ with 15 openings.

While on the Rez, you will engage in building projects at your level of expertise; the level of work that you engage in is up to you! If needed, you will receive training to use power tools. Projects include sanding; cutting wood with a power saw; using a power drill to put together outhouses, bunk beds, and skirting; and gardening. Children participating in Family week will have a daycamp experience, not go to work sites. We promise the experience of volunteering is an experience you will remember for a lifetime. After the work, there is always plenty of fun. Nightly reflections about a day’s work, craft nights, and arranged tours to the badlands are common afterhours activities. Re-Member has two facilities with dorm rooms which are outfitted with bunk beds. There are ten showers, eight toilets, and one outdoor facility. There is a complete kitchen where everyone engages in cooking and cleanup. The cost of the trip is $375 per person for your room and board and a tax particular to volunteers who go to the Rez. Approximately an additional $200 covers travel to and from the Rez; the total cost of the trip will be about $600 per person 13+ years of age. Scholarships are available! Volunteering with Re-Member is an emotional and life-changing event. During your visit to Pine Ridge Reservation, you will witness the extreme poverty the people live in on the Rez. We go to build relationships with the Lakota People. Please contact Pastor Pamela to sign up or for more information.





	As the body of Christ, First Presbyterian Church’s mission programs seek to reach out to the community and to the world to care for those in need. The Deacons’ Mission Connection facilitates the congregation’s ability to witness to and carry out the compassionate love of Christ by sharing time, talent, and resources with people beyond the local community. Mission Connection coordinates trips to Guatemala and supports the host organization throughout the year. Equally important are national mission trips which develop long-term relationships with communities in the United States, i.e. trips to hurricane-damaged Mississippi towns, flood-devastated Iowa towns, and the Lakota Native American Reservation in South Dakota.
