Native American children suffer from abuse at one of the most alarming rates in our country. Oglala Lakota County is one of the most impoverished counties in the United States and is home to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. In mid June, 2025 we plan on traveling to Pine Ridge for one-week to serve at the NAOMI House, a non-profit ministry dedicated to providing a safe and loving home for Native American Children in need.

The NAOMI House makes for a family friendly mission destination for groups of all sizes. Typical work projects range from weeding, cleaning, and painting along with construction projects. You will also have the opportunity to share your time with the NAOMI children and staff.  There is always in need for people with different skill sets.

Join us on January 12 after second service in the church's lower level for an informational meeting about the trip.  If you cannot attend but are still interested in going, please email Fran Schneider.
