Tori Holtan Writes To Salem: This summer, I am answering God’s call to serve by going on a mission trip, where I will use my hands to do His work and my heart to share His love. I am excited for the opportunity to make an impact, deepen my faith, and spread the message of Jesus to those in need. From July 20th to 28th, I will be serving in Burnsville and Asheville, North Carolina. While there, our team will help communities with house repairs, debris cleanup, and building a garden shed in the aftermath of Hurricane Helena. I ask for your thoughts, prayers, and, if possible, monetary donations to support this mission. The Youth Board and I will also be hosting a bake sale on Palm Sunday to help fund this trip. Thank you for your support as I serve God and His people.
(Donations can be left for Tori in the church office, if it’s closed slide under door)
