Back Bay Mission |
In January 2015 and then again in 2016, people from our church community joined a 25-strong contingent from the Minnesota Conference UCC who spent a week helping to rebuild houses damaged by storms at Back Bay Mission in Biloxi, Mississippi. They returned to tell stories of their trips and the good work being done at Back Bay. |
