SUMMARY:God's Country Community Ministries Mission Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for a Life-Changing Mission Experience in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula\nAugust 16–20\, 2025 \nAt Chelsea First United Methodist Church\, we believe that God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things through acts of love\, service\, and compassion. This August\, we invite you to be part of something bigger than yourself as we partner with God’s Country Community Ministries in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula for a week of mission\, relationship-building\, and meaningful service. \nWhether you’ve been on dozens of mission trips or have never picked up a hammer in your life\, there is a place for you on this team. \nServing Together\, Making a Difference\nFrom August 16–20\, volunteers from Chelsea First UMC and Newburg United Methodist Church will travel to the Upper Peninsula to assist families and communities through home repair projects\, outreach ministries\, and practical acts of care. God’s Country Community Ministries has a long history of serving neighbors in need\, helping to improve homes while sharing hope and encouragement with those they serve. \nThis mission trip is about much more than construction projects. It’s about building relationships\, growing in faith\, and experiencing God’s presence in new and powerful ways. \nAs we serve alongside one another\, we’ll discover that mission changes not only the lives of those we help—it changes us as well. \nAll Skill Levels Welcome\nOne of the most common questions we hear is\, “What if I’m not handy?” \nThe answer is simple: You are still invited! \nThere are opportunities for every skill set and every comfort level. Whether you have experience with home repairs\, enjoy working alongside others\, excel at encouraging people\, or simply have a willing heart\, there is meaningful work for you to do. \nGod doesn’t call the equipped—God equips the called. \nDon’t Let Cost Keep You from Serving\nThe cost of the trip is $350\, which includes meals\, lodging\, and volunteer mission insurance. \nWe never want finances to prevent someone from answering God’s call to serve. Scholarships are available for anyone who may need assistance with the cost of the trip. If finances are a concern\, please reach out. We would love to have a conversation and help make participation possible. \nWill You Join Us?\nMission trips often become some of the most memorable and faith-shaping experiences in a person’s life. They provide opportunities to step outside of our routines\, serve alongside fellow believers\, and witness firsthand how God is at work in the world. \nIf you’ve been looking for a way to put your faith into action\, this may be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. \nWe hope you’ll prayerfully consider joining the Chelsea First UMC mission team this August as we serve\, build relationships\, and make a difference together. \nRegister Today
