McCurdy Ministries Mission Trip

Andover UMC sent a 12 member team to McCurdy Ministries in Espanola, NM on June 29, 2014.  We worked at the school Monday, June 30 – Thursday, July 3.  We did gardening, cleaned office buildings, built a bookshelf stand for the financial manager, fixed a leak in the steam pipe and cleaned the kitchen. McCurdy Ministries School is over 100 years old. Two years ago it was determined after much soul searching that the school would close but the facility would become the landlord to a charter school.  McCurdy Ministries surrounds the public school students with Christian love through a pre-school, after school program and summer program plus a counseling service.  Our work enabled them to continue serving these students who come from a very poor area.
