Twenty-two members of S1UMC and Salem Lutheran Church were part of a successful mission trip to Wyoming County, West Virginia in July. This week, we will have the opportunity to hear their stories. I appreciate the plaque over the main exit from S1UMC which reads, “You now enter the world of missions”. It reminds us that we don’t have to travel far to love and serve others. And we encounter Jesus by serving others. Jesus clearly tells us in Matthew 25: 34-40, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
