Micah Corps Goes to Agencies

This week the Micah Corps is splitting up into our focus teams and traveling to agencies in Nebraska. Tori and Katie will be at Nebraska Appleseed. Jonathan and Elena will be out in the Great West visiting an organic farm and Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Elizabeth and Adam will be at Voices for Children in Nebraska. However, before they started their weeks at agencies, they each visited a church in the area of the state that they would be at.

Jonathan and Elena headed out west to visit United Methodist Churches in McCook, Juanita, and Palisade. On their way, they were able to see the sights out in the Great West District.

Tori went to Beatrice on Sunday, and joining her was our mentor for the summer, Andrea Paret. They gave a talk on immigration and the DREAM Act to the congregation there.

Adam and Elizabeth headed to Springfield to speak with the First UMC in Springfield. They spoke to the congregation about children in poverty and they spoke with the youth director, Ron Smith, about working with the youth in churches.
