Mexico Mission — April 10-17, 2010

For many years, Los Altos United Methodist Church has sent teams of volunteers down to Mexico to build homes for families in need. The trip is usually held in April, and sign-ups begin early in the year. Check out the Mexico Mission Trip page for more details about this family-friendly mission trip.

Mississippi Hurricane Relief Trip — February 13–20, 2010

LAUMC sent three teams to the Mississippi Gulf Coast in early 2006 to repair and work on houses damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Three more trips to Mississippi followed in February 2007, 2008 and 2009, this time the work focused on rebuilding, including sheetrock, wiring, painting, etc. In February 2010, you will have the opportunity to participate in our next Mississippi Mission Trip — learn more here.

LAUMC Mission Accomplished

Los Altos United Methodist Church sponsors a variety of missions that take church members, friends and guests all over the world to follow in Jesus' footsteps, bringing the message of love with open arms to others.

Often in the course of a mission trip, not only are the people to whom the mission is directed moved by the love of Christ seen in the eyes of the participants, but the participants themselves are awakened to the power of faith in action.

As the blessing says, "Thank you Lord for this day, to work and to play, and to do good deeds." Amen.
