SERVING IN SUMMER AND DEALING WITH COVID
This summer saw some return to normalcy for churches serving internationally after nearly 3 years of adapting to COVID. First Church UMC in Birmingham served in Panama with Missionary Rhett Thompson, and Grace UMC in North Augusta, SC journeyed to Bolivia. However, COVID infections have seen a resurgence since the Spring.
All mission teams are encouraged to check CDC.gov or their personal physician before journeying away from home in areas where COVID transmission has increased.

SERVING AS AN INDIVIDUAL
The Mission Volunteer program, under the direction of Una Jones at Global Ministries, exists for individual volunteers, as well as couples, to serve longer than the usualy mission team.
Those interested in the program can visit missionvolunteers.org to view the application and more about the program.
Applicants will be invited to the Mission Volunteer Training in Tampa, FL in November.
