Summerlee, West Virginia Mission Trip

Pictures and captions by Brenda Bosserman

The Summerlee mission project originated in the mid 1980’s in response to flooding in West Virginia. Since then, churches from our area go every year, under the leadership of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Waynesboro, Va., to repair and fix-up homes of people in need.

On July 10th, people from Mt. Horeb formed a caravan and headed off to Fayetteville, WV to work from July 10th to 15th . This is the eighth year Mount Horeb participated and was well represented by:

John, Brenda, Rachel & Rebecca Bosserman

Gail and Jeremy Carr

Patti, Austin and Ashlee Craig

Mark, Hanna and Caitlin Eckroth

Rev. Braxton Garriss

Janice, Chris, & Amy Mowbray

John Bosserman and Mark Eckroth worked together as a team to remodel a bathroom.
Repairing and applying roofing is a "hot" job. Here Janice Mowbray and Ashlee Craig take drinks up to the workers on the roof to keep them hydrated.

Hanna Eckroth (left) helps pick up the roofing debris at a jobsite.
Amy Mowbray worked on the Trash Crew as they visited all the worksites daily and collected debris; it was then hauled to a dumpster. Here she tries to fill the dumpster but realizes she has a lot more work to do.
