SFCS families will experience a wonderful time of service, fellowship and fun in Cherokee, North Carolina as participants in the 3rd Annual Cherokee Mission Trip. In addition to hard work, the team will also share in a time of worship each night. This summer’s trip is scheduled for Saturday, July 24, through Saturday, July 31. The SFCS trip to Cherokee is arranged through Mission to the World (MTW) which is an international short term mission organization. The amount charged by MTW includes food, lodging and support staff for our students. In addition, they provide all building materials for the various projects we will be assigned. There will be meetings throughout this spring and SFCS will keep you informed of additional details about the trip. Please look for further information about how you can help fund this wonderful mission in future editions of the Crusader Communiquè. If you would like specific information about the mission trip, please contact Mr. Alvin Sell at 678.5172.
