WHAT CAN WE DO?.

1.Discuss with your: Pastor, Missions Chairperson, Youth Group or Small Group about serving.

2. Go to www.neseafarers.org and click on the 2010 (COMING SOON!) calendar page for open dates and what to expect.

3. Don't go for a unanimous consensus date. That won't ever happen. PICK A DATE and fill out the on-line sign up form at our web site.

4. Put out a sign-up sheet. Make calls, Encourage one another to good works!

5. Ask for prayer from your sending church the week(s) before. VERY IMPORTANT!

6. Come In. NEED A RIDE? Don't stay away because of driving into Boston. Call us, maybe we can give you a lift. Really..
