7. February 18- 24, 2023 – Mission Trip to CVE
The Morton church is organizing a work/fellowship team to go to Magdalena, Mexico to spend a week of fellowship and work at CVE. We will have the opportunity to spend time with our 2 Morton missionaries, Sister Kendra Neihouser and Sister Nicole Knobloch, along with other staff members and children. There are some work projects that can be done, yet the primary role is to fellowship and have a special time with our church family and friends that serve at CVE. There are young singles, young couples, and young families that would enjoy us doing life with them for a week. We are planning to leave on Saturday, February 18th and return Friday, February 24th. If you are interested in coming along, you will need to have an up-to-date passport. We do have funds to help with some of the costs of this trip. Just remember what the weather is like in Morton in February…it’s the perfect time to get away to the high desert of Magdalena! Please contact Bro. Jeff or Sis. Sue Neihouser if you have any questions and for more details
