This spring break, Fusion is looking for do-ers and go-ers! We have a wonderful opportunity to serve our Christian brothers and sisters in Louisiana. One of the many churches to have their place of worship washed away by two hurricanes is on the road to moving out of temporary housing and into a recently purchased and cleaned-out former grocery store.
In March, they will need able-bodied servants to assist with framing and hanging plasterboard. Join your fellow Fusionites in fellowship, worship, and Christ-centered service this spring break on a mission to assist North Shore Church! Space is limited, so sign up soon! Inquiries can be directed to FusionSpringBreak2009@gmail.com.
