Hi Tech and Hi Touch
It’s been great to keep up with the all that’s happened with and through the Katrina team via Mark Evan’s email journal and the accompanying photos. Technology has impacted the work of the church and its mission just like it has impacted so many other aspects of our lives.

When the second anniversary of Katrina’s devastating blow to the Gulf Coast rolled around, the National Council of Churches began to calculate all that had happed in the two years since the all the destruction. Among the things they found is just how incredibly powerful the response of the church has been – though there is still so much more to do.
The Quiet Mission of Park Church
Who doesn’t know about our mission in Brazil and West Virginia, the great work of Tiger Pause in Beaver Falls and the Salvation Army in Rochester? Most Park people recognize the names of Sue Makin and Rebecca Mihm. We are a church with a mission and a people on a mission. God always sends (mission is from the Latin mittere, “to send”) his people into the world to bear the Good News in word and deed.
In addition to our well-publicized mission program there is another more quiet mission carried out day by day here at the church and through the lives of countless Park missionaries, ordinary people who share God’s love and compassion wherever they are and through whatever they do.
