Summer Gathering!


Please save the dates of June 25th to 28th as we head back to Yosemite Valley for our annual summer gathering. This years theme: Road Rules: Stories from the Road of Life. More information will be coming soon. Stay tuned!!

Mexico House Building- April 21st

Come get your hands dirty and help some of our brothers in Mexico on April 21st (all day). Please plan to join us as we put some feet on our faith and share the love of Jesus with others. Meeting time is 7 am near the boarder. Join us for a great trip as we partner with Amor Ministries to build a house! Their goal is simple: To build hope. They say, "Hope is a concrete floor, Hope is four strong walls, Hope is a roof that doesn't leak, Hope is giving more than you can, Hope is getting more than you gave! " It is hard work but the rewards are awesome.


From the Amor Website:

The Amor Mission Trip
The Amor mission trip is a short-term mission trip based on serving the local church in Mexico, while creating cross-cultural understanding through direct exposure to the Mexican culture. Amor Ministries doesn't want a group to just build a house in a developing nation. We want a group to understand the conditions of poverty through immersion.


Due to the early meeting time (7am) near the boarder, Christ Lutheran Church has offered a place to stay Friday night (the 20th) for those groups that are coming from out of town. Those staying will be treated to a continental breakfast Saturday morning. Bring your sleeping bag and pillow. The cost is $35 per person, which covers building material. Each person/group needs to provide water and food for themselves while they are in Mexico. An Individual Mission Trip Participation form (PDF format) can be found at the Yahoo Groups page. Amor needs to have final numbers by April 11th so please fill out those forms and send it in with $35 before that date. Please have all checks made out to PSD College Ministry. Please note that youth under 18 must obtain a parent or guardian signature. Feel free to invite students who are seniors in High School as well. If you have any questions please contact Brandon Heath at 619-462-5211 x129 or bheath@christlamesa.org.
