Twenty-seven First Church volunteers head out at the crack of dawn on January 3 for our 11th mission trip to Biloxi. As usual, we’ll be staying at the Back Bay Mission. Here’s what our group looks like:

• We’re intergenerational: ages range from 18 to 78
• There are 16 women and 11 men
• Ten are first-timers
• There are six family groups: one father and son; one husband and wife; one grandmother and two grandsons; one mother, son and daughter; and one mother and son

We’ll be sharing the Back Bay Mission House with a group of thirteen from Newtown, our third year with them.  On Monday we’ll find out about our project(s) and get to work, so come back for details and photos.
