About Our Trip

During the week of August 6-12, a work team organized by Old Union Presbyterian Church of Mars PA will travel to Greenbrier County, West Virginia to assist with the rebuilding work following the devastating floods of June 2016.  The team will include fourteen people of all skill levels, ranging in age from 14 to 78, from nine different churches.
