Getting Commissioned

This year the Winthrop Youth, a group of dedicated high school students, 9th through 12th grade is traveling to Chiloquin, Oregon some 370 miles north, near Lasson National Park. They leave this coming Saturday June 17th at 9:00 AM and will return Sunday, June 25th. They'll travel to serve the Williamson River Indian Mission United Methodist Church which is located on the former Klamath Indian Reservation. They will serve this economically poor community by working on building an outdoor play structure and doing general construction and maintenance for the church, that serves as a center of faith and support for the greater community. As guests of the Williamson River Indian Mission United Methodist Church they'll learn about each other, another community, another culture, another geography and have the privilege to serve and praise God in this close knit community. It's a week-long journey of service, learning, fun and Christian fellowship. The youth leaders attending this year are Sarah Fernald, Lorenzo Llanillo, Julie Llanillo-Greer and one awesome toddler, Way-Way Llanillo. They will be lead and ministered by our pastor, Adam Blons. These young people also received help and leadership from Mitchell Tobias, Janet Eadie and myself. The youth attending this year are:

Andrew McAfee, Susan Bryant, Caitlin Lizzottle, Antoinette Corriea, Chris McCoy, Daniel Lawson, Elizabeth Brenum, Emma Fujii, Greg Specht, Iris Williamson, Katie Winton-Henry, Lizzie Prindle, Lorenz Claus, Marina Cinquegrano, Martin Bartson, Nick Lawson, Nicole Petiet, and Rebecca Crebbin-Coates

Please join me in praying, supporting and commissioning these outstanding youth and their leaders as they travel to Chiloquin, Oregon for this year's Winthrop Work Camp.
