It's summer! If you're a student, you are
probably
enjoying a summer break right now.
Unfortunately,
that's not the case for me. This summer has been
anything but slow and relaxed in Lewis
County. We've
had groups rotating in and out and the
volunteers have been doing
some extraordinary work. And, in the midst of
all this
busyness, I've realized that there are some
things that
sure would make our work go a little easier
so I've
come up with another Wish List for the Farm.
Find out
what those things are and get the latest news
from
Lewis County in my most recent Vanceburg
View. I hope you
all are having a happy, healthy summer. We're
all
looking forward to the start of the next
school year.
Remember
to keep me updated with your most
current
e-mail address so you can stay connected to the
people and places of Eastern Kentucky. Until
next
time.
-Joe Grosek, Glenmary
Volunteer Director

Serving a South Georgia Mission
For the past year, Sister Mary Bordelon has been working as
a lay
pastoral administrator at Glenmary's mission
in Metter,
Ga. Sister Mary is serving one of the
poorest
counties in South Georgia and working to meet
the
needs of three populations: Anglo, Hispanic and
migrant workers. Needless to say, she's never
without
anything to do!

Pay It Forward
Many of our volunteers say they receive much more than they give during their week of service in Lewis County. If that's the case for you, think about making a donation to Glenmary Home Missioners and help make it possible for other high school and college volunteers to have the same experience. No gift is too small and if you can't make a gift today, please keep Glenmary's home mission effort in your prayers. Without both financial gifts and prayers, Glenmary's work would not be possible. |
