The Upper Susquehanna Synod and the Presbytery of Northumberland have come together to plan two work trips to Daytona, Florida. The first of these trips will take place May 20-27. You need not have any particular skills to participate in this trip, just a will to help those who have suffered loss from last year’s hurricanes. Anyone interested in this or future trips is invited to attend a gathering on Saturday, March 24, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Upper Susquehanna Synod offices, 500 Reitz Blvd, Lewisburg.

Our 2018 trips will cost approximately $325, including travel by van, meals and lodging. We will work with the Florida Volusia Interfaiths/Agencies Networking in Disaster, a long-term recovery organization established to coordinate response to the hurricanes. Volunteers are housed in dormitory style rooms with bunk beds in the Union Congregational Church (UCC) in Holly Hill, Florida.  Use this link to register for the gathering on March 24: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/susquehanna-disaster-relief-work-teams-tickets-43671138551 Registration does not mean you will join the work team. Anyone planning to join the work trip should bring a deposit of $150 to the gathering.  For questions or information contact Craig Miller, Assistant to the Bishop, prcmiller@uss-elca.org.
