Mission Team Serves in Mississippi On October 29, 6 members of our congregation left for a week of home repair and relationship building in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. After six years, the Moravian Church is still serving our neighbors who suffered storm damage from Hurricane Katrina. With big stacks of sheetrock, our team brought new life to a house with a major mold problem. Their work was greatly appreciated by the family they served and the on-site coordinator of our Moravian work on the Gulf Coast.
