Hi all,

What: Goma Adult Ministries/Global Strategies Teams Report

Where: First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley, G202

On Sunday, October 14th, the Goma Missions Teams (including mine) will be giving a report on the Congo, what we did, and what we’re planning to do.  We’ll have two sessions, one at 12.15pm (following the morning service at 11am) and another at 6.30pm (following the evening service at 5.05pm) You are all invited to attend – I would love for you to meet my teammates and to hear about all the things we saw and heard and did.  There will be videos and music and (gasp!) time for questions.  If you are interested in attending the service, let me know and we can meet before. I hope you can make it!
