Sonya Dunham, Catherine Joiner, and Stephanie Hitt will be conducting a mission trip to India in the near future. The focus of the trip is to minister to orphans and widows. To that end, Margham is currently raising funds for program expenses through a number of methods. (Air fare has already been covered by the missionaries.) Two garage sales in July and August are being held in Oregon which will go towards mission expenses. Also a youth group Four Square Competition is being held on July 25th in Medford. For more information on how you can contribute to the trip, please contact the Dunhams, or e-mail marghaminc@hotmail.com.
