Plans are under way for the sixth Learn & Serve bus trip to New Windsor, Maryland. We will spend 2½ days working at the Brethren Service Center Clothing Distribution Center, repacking Hygiene, School and Baby Kits, and preparing material aid to be shipped as soon as the next disaster strikes or the next urgent need arises. In addition to working with the CWS Kits, we will also work in the SERRV (a greater gift) warehouse unpacking, inspecting, packing, and pricing third world gift items to be sent out.

Call Pam at 888-297-2767 to be put on the Learn & Serve mailing list to receive information about the Nov. 10 -- 14, 2008 trip.

The following comments are what the Learn & Serve #5 participants had to say about the trip --

It was interesting to learn about serving others and find out what happens to the items donated to CWS.

Enjoyed connecting with other Christians and hearing of their activities.

It gave me a better understanding of CWS work in disaster relief. The evening program presented by Fidele Lumeya was very interesting.

This whole trip surpassed my expectations. I can’t stop talking about it.

It was great to make new friends and to work in the warehouse.

The fellowship was outstanding and the DC tour was informative and delightful.

I found out more about the work of CWS and was able to help in my own small way.

A side benefit of the trip was to meet a diverse group of people joining together in mission.

The staff at the Brethren Service Center were all so cheerful and helpful.

The spirit of volunteerism was definitely present.

Make plans now to join us in November for this fulfilling, educational, and fun mission trip
