Looking for a last great fellowship time with friends before the summer? 

You need  a FLING with your PWOC sisters!  Join us Friday/Saturday April 29/30. 

If you hurry, it's not to late to register. Email Mandy and/or Ruth by Tuesday morning (26 Apr). Click on the Spring Fling Page for fliers, directions, registration forms etc.

Pssstt....if Onsens aren't your thing, you can get a massage, visit shops or sit and visit.....

First Kits Delivered

Sixty-four of the Chapel's Transition Home Kits were delivered  yesterday to Miyako Shi. This was made possible by the cooperation of both the Protestant and Catholic parish.  I believe every Protestant program was represented in the volunteer pool this week.  Thank you! We will continue to assemble kits. Check the chapel Face Book page "Misawa Air Base Chapel" for updated volunteer opportunities.

Spring Fling

If you are on your way home and wondering if there is still room to register for the Spring Fling  - there is. Click the tab above for all the details. Email the info to Mandy or Ruth and you'll be counted. Space is limited - but there is still space. Priority will be given to those attending all three sessions.  If you have questions, please ask.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Misawa.

Fun Work....

The week's shopping trips were completed and today was the FIRST chapel Kit Assembly day. We learned a lot...we accomplished a lot. Thanks to all 25 - 30 who showed up to help, Men, Women, Youth and Children. 


We assembled 65 kits...If you missed this week's activity, keep checking the Prot News, here, Misawa AB Facebook page for upcoming opportunities. 


You may continue to drop off items from the home kit list at the chaplain 1 office....funds can be dropped off at any chapel service this Sunday.

Our QC ladies were invaluable....

My son, the coach, told me a clipboard and a whistle puts you in charge....I ran around all day answering questions, putting out fires and blowing my PWOC whistle. LOL 

Anita checks a kit over

Note to self - next week assign people (like Melissa) at each table with glass that needs wrapping. 

Becky takes QC seriously!

Multi-tasking: supervising assembly, wrapping china, giving Navy PA an interview and corralling Zander. 

Ah - Asia Region Board at work. ::snort:: 

Tomorrow, our group of drivers will take these 65 kits to Miyako City where they will bless families moving into new homes next week. 


Good job, team. You're a blessing. 

Shopping Trip

Have you heard about the Transition Home Kits the chapel is collecting for displaced Japanese families who will be moving from evacuation centers to FEMA type homes in the near future? A list is available at the chapel or by emailing misawakits@gmail.com.  Realizing that we like to do things together, and hearing that some were intimidated by the list....we are offering a group shopping day. We will meet at the BX parking lot nearest the main gate on Tuesday at 0930. Any lady who would like to caravan with us is welcome to join us.


In addition, De'Etta is compiling a  list of volunteers willing to shop for, assemble and deliver kits.  If this is not your week to help, maybe future week will be.

SPRING FLING!

Be sure to check out the "Spring Fling" page above for the latest info on the ever-changing Spring Retreat. The PWOC Board and Retreat Team knew that many did not want to go away from their families in these rather wild days we're living in; but we DO need some relaxing, refreshing, renewing time together...and so was born the first-ever Misawa Spring Fling.

Read all the details on the Spring Fling page and feel free to ask any questions you may have in the comment section or by emailing De'Etta at misawaretreats@gmail.com.
