Our VIM Mississippi Team returned to Pass Christian, Mississippi, for its third consecutive year to work in the area, to honor its commitment to rebuilding along the Gulf Coast. Four team members have participated in all these trips. The group worked with a local non-profit called the Gray Hut which is building new houses for people who lost their homes to Katrina. The team includes four persons from Good Shepherd UMC in Silver Spring, including their pastor, Joye Jones who served at Metropolitan Memorial in 1995 and 1996. Team members include: James Conley, Mia Bloomfield, Lee Crockett, Kevin Fain, Joye Jones, Earle Knapp, Eliza Hamner-Koenig, Jeremy Koenig, Leilani McConnell, Pat McConnell, and Lindsey Scherer. Below are some excerpts from their blog. To read more about their trip visit their blog here!
