From the June "Good News": 
Dear Friends,
I love living in Florida. But if there were one thing I miss from up north, it is the changing of the seasons. In Florida we have hot and hotter. Hurricane and drought. I enjoyed those crisp fall days, the leaves changing colors, the mew warmth of spring, the flowers blooming. Truth be told, I enjoyed the seasons of change more than the monotony of snow and cold in the winter and heat in the summer. |

Uganda Youth Mission 2009 |
 |
 |
 |
 After a one year hiatus, Fr. Eric Turner, his wife Charlene, and daughter Elizabeth will be leading Uganda Youth Mission 2009 to Uganda. A team of American and Ugandan teenagers will live, travel and work together to deliver and install solar lighting systems in several schools and clinics in rural, southwestern Uganda.
Charlene had the opportunity to visit most of the sites in February and is very enthusiastic about the ministry at these facilities as well as the impact that the solar lighting systems will have on the students, teachers and others in the community.
The Turners will depart after church on June 28 to head to Atlanta to meet the American side of the team and have a brief orientation. They fly out on Monday, June 29, arriving in Uganda on Wednesday, July 1. The flight schedule actually allows about a 12 hour layover in London, so we will be able to treat the team to a quick tour of a some of the major sights and sounds of London! The team will travel and work for two weeks in Uganda before returning on July 15.

We are still raising funds for this trip and contributions are gladly accepted. You may make a check payable to St. John’s and write “Africa” in the memo line.
Thanks to all for your prayers and support! |
