notes: Mission on the Bay 912 S. Beach Blvd Bay St. Louis, MS 228-467-7757 Open to: All Fee: $20.00/day per person Capacity: 130 --------------------- 3/30/07 UPDATE: via call to Butch Jones (Coordinator for Mission on the Bay Youth Program) For Reservations contact: Butch Jones: Mission on the Bay Youth Program Coord. (228) 467-7757 or missiononthebay@yahoo.com Mission on the Bay is a Christian community of faith that provides a welcome and hospitality to volunteers wishing to serve in the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort. Mission on the Bay operates recovery and reconstruction missions for those in need on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Mission on the Bay welcomes volunteers and groups (of ANY denomination) that have volunteers under the age 16. Just as with Camp Coast Care there are construction projects; however, we are currently concentrating on “de-mucking” and clean-up crews, allowing our younger volunteers the ability to work in the community with-out previous construction skills. Please be advised that the recovery process has been approximated to take a minimum of 10 years. Volunteer help will be needed for years to come. We ask that you keep not only Mission on the Bay in your thoughts and prayers but those in the community whom have been given such inspiration from volunteers all across the globe. *OUR NEW HOUSING FACILITIES ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL* The calling to volunteer is shared by many young adults. As a Christian community we recognize the importance of mission work at all ages. Mission on the Bay volunteer work crews composed of all levels of skill and ages are organized daily to go out into the communities to help residents. The minimum age is 7th grade (in the 7th grade or going into the 7th grade in the fall). Mission on the Bay is proud to announce the two newly erected housing units. Volunteers are now able to stay in military style Quonset huts, sleeping in barrack style bunk beds. Both male and female units are insulated as well as heated and cooled (there are separate male and female sleeping buildings). Volunteers are also provided separate, male and female, bathrooms (private showers, toilets, and sinks). Three meals a day are provided to volunteers as well as snack foods, bottled water, and beverages. We have a suggested donation of $20 per volunteer per night. Please note, not all groups are able to provide the suggested donation amount, do not let this prohibit you from joining us. Lutheran Episcopal Services of MS is the major funder (umbrella organization) for Mission on the Bay. The local LTRC and City Team Ministries through their casework send them community/neighbor projects and they are also assisting their parishioners (many of whom are still not back living in their homes because they are not habitable). It is suggested that volunteer groups leaders contact their local Lowe's Home Improvement retail store to arrange for their free courses in construction and/or sheet rock instruction prior to arriving for their volunteer groups. Most of the work will involve, gardening, yard clean up, landscaping, sheet rock installation and painting. The best kind of donations to forward this recovery would be Lowe's gift cards (first) and Home Depot (second). Monetary donations are welcomed and needed. This site doesn't have storage facilities for bulks of building materials so gift cards are put to best use project by project. The will also house adult volunteers and their greatest needs in this order are: Skilled, Electricians, Plumbers & Carpenters. Materials/Supplies Needs are: Power Tools Lawnmowers/Lawn Equipment Weed Eaters Chain Saws Butch advised that committee's are now in session with their parishioners and Architects to move forward with the rebuilding of Christ Episcopal Church. They are also in the process of securing a permanent building to be put on the site for site administration of the church and volunteer camp. This is truly a WONDERFUL volunteer opportunity and experience for youth (and/or any aged volunteer) and being located right on the beach offers recreation when volunteer projects are completed. ---------------------------------------------------- Christ Episcopal Church was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2005. The entire material side of the church and surrounding buildings were destroyed by the storm. Nothing was left standing except the bell tower. If you would like to make a contribution, please send to this address: Christ Episcopal Church P.O.

Very Respectfully, Kimberly King Website Editor/Communications Liaison Email: flygal46@yahoo.com -> 3/30/07 UPDATE: via call to Butch Jones (Coordinator for Mission on the Bay Youth Program) Mission on the Bay is a Christian community of faith that provides a welcome and hospitality to volunteers wishing to serve in the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort. Mission on the Bay operates recovery and reconstruction missions for those in need on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Mission on the Bay welcomes volunteers and groups (of ANY denomination) that have volunteers under the age 16. Just as with Camp Coast Care there are construction projects; however, we are currently concentrating on “de-mucking” and clean-up crews, allowing our younger volunteers the ability to work in the community with-out previous construction skills. Please be advised that the recovery process has been approximated to take a minimum of 10 years. Volunteer help will be needed for years to come. We ask that you keep not only Mission on the Bay in your thoughts and prayers but those in the community whom have been given such inspiration from volunteers all across the globe. *OUR NEW HOUSING FACILITIES ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL* The calling to volunteer is shared by many young adults. As a Christian community we recognize the importance of mission work at all ages. Mission on the Bay volunteer work crews composed of all levels of skill and ages are organized daily to go out into the communities to help residents. The minimum age is 7th grade (in the 7th grade or going into the 7th grade in the fall). Mission on the Bay is proud to announce the two newly erected housing units. Volunteers are now able to stay in military style Quonset huts, sleeping in barrack style bunk beds. Both male and female units are insulated as well as heated and cooled (there are separate male and female sleeping buildings). Volunteers are also provided separate, male and female, bathrooms (private showers, toilets, and sinks). Three meals a day are provided to volunteers as well as snack foods, bottled water, and beverages. We have a suggested donation of $20 per volunteer per night. Please note, not all groups are able to provide the suggested donation amount, do not let this prohibit you from joining us. Lutheran Episcopal Services of MS is the major funder (umbrella organization) for Mission on the Bay It is suggested that volunteer groups leaders contact their local Lowe's Home Improvement retail store to arrange for their free courses in construction and/or sheet rock instruction prior to arriving for their volunteer groups. Most of the work will involve, gardening, yard clean up, landscaping, sheet rock installation and painting. The best kind of donations to forward this recovery would be Lowe's gift cards (first) and Home Depot (second). Monetary donations are welcomed and needed. This site doesn't have storage facilities for bulks of building materials so gift cards are put to best use project by project. The will also house adult volunteers and their greatest needs in this order are: Skilled, Electricians, Plumbers & Carpenters.
