At Chilhowie UMC, we may not always be able to
conduct missions on our own, but we try and support those churches that
do in any way that we can.
Over the last couple of summers, we have developed a special
relationship with churches from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Each summer
the Swedesboro UMC and the Catawissa UMC has organized a mission team that
went to the Red Bird Mission and worked on homes in the area for a week.
We have provided them a place to stay on their journey to Red Bird and
heard from them about the mission work they were going to do.
We also send along funds to the project to help with the
purchase of materials.
