SUMMER 2010 was an intensive time of missions trips by various groups in our church. Information on these trips is listed below:
The 2010 College Mission Trip was Ottawa, Canada. This event occurred in May and a report has been given to the congregation during a recent Sunday morning worship service. For more information email BETH MCCONNELL.
The 7th annual "Book Buddies" trip to eastern Kentucky occurred in June 2010, working with the elementary school in Owlsey County in a summer learning program and delivering over 2,000 books to the children of the county. This has become a recurring event that is anticipated by the elementary school students in the area. This project was a desire of a Providence member - Cindy Brewer, after her first trip to the area.

Chapel/Missions Center
 |
Pictured above is the recently-completed Chapel/Missions Center building. It is the combination of our relocated and refurbished Chapel. This building was the first Worship Center/Sanctuary originally built by the new congregation in 1954. Adjoining the Chapel is a Missions Center which provides a place to conduct missions activities. And it is a place from which missions activities are imagined and implemented.
