Appalachia Service Project & Methodist Habitat





Appalachia Service Project for 2011


Minooka United Methodist Church is very proud to be sending 4 teams of our Senior High youth down to the Appalachian’s on June 11th. This is our 11th year heading south east to do God's work. We will be in Martin County, Kentucky, which is on the border of West Virginia. We have never been to this county before and are furthest north as well.

This ASP (Appalachia Service Project) has taken on a life of its own amongst the Senior High age youth of our church. This ministry itself seems to mold our youth into the very dedicated and caring persons that they become. We are so proud of each and every one of them. To watch these young people accomplish what they do in home repairs and soul repairs reminds us of the blessings in our midst. All our missionaries realize the importance of their trip, WWJD.

This year’s leaders are ~ Marlin Hartman, Jim & Lorain Clausen, Beth Froidcoeur, Kim Nave, Brian Spencer, Les Dilday, Dean Geyer and Susan Cailteux.

This year’s youth are ~ Jessica Froidcoeur, Trevor Spencer, Aaron Graff, Kelsey Dilday, Andrew Moorman, Kristina Parro, Bayley Clausen, Derek Dailey, Caleb Froidcoeur, Dutch Nave, Maverick Nave, Anna Geyer, Brian Parro, Ashley Grygiene, Alexa Maffei, Connor Spencer and Jacob Tarter.
