First Congregational Prescott’s youth shared their itinerary from their June trip. They stayed at The Good Shepherd UCC and their host was Rev. Randy Mayer. They visited La Casa Misericordia Migrant Shelter in Nogales, Mexico; accompanied Humane Borders to put out water in the desert; traveled to Sasabe, Mexico to see the Library project and take donations to the community; then traveled back home to Prescott to share about their experience during and after the worship service.
