2011 TRIP DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Each year we use a Trip Devotional Guide that provides a daily prayer/devotional experience for all those a part of the trip, both Home Team and Travel Team members. You're invited to use this throughout the trip! Many thanks to Rev. Wendy Abrahamson (Travel Team 2005) for the guide!
