Team bios: Meg McClung

In an effort to get to know our team members better, I'll be the first to post a bio blog (for the sake of the Huntsville team, California team, and anyone else...).  I am really excited to be a part of the first team from Shades Valley Community Church to go to Poland!  We have an amazing group and I can't wait to see what happens leading up to and during our week there.  This will be my third mission trip to Katowice, Poland.  We are partnering with King's Kids Polska and Erin and Greg Skrobarczyk, the leaders of KK, are my sister and brother-in-law and it's great to be a part of what they do in Poland.

I am a 28 year old registered nurse and the wife of Josh McClung (who's going on this trip, too).  I grew up in Huntsville, AL but also lived as a MK (missionary kid) in Budapest, Hungary during my 9th and 10th grade years with my mom and dad (Sandra and Blake Rymer) which changed my worldview and whet my appetite for missions.  I went to Samford University in Birmingham, AL and studied to become a registered nurse.  Josh and I got married after graduation and have lived in Birmingham for the last 5 years.  I am a cardiac nurse but surprisingly, none of the mission trips I've gone on have been medical.... maybe some day??  I enjoy spending quality time with friends, hanging out with our families, our small group, traveling, eating and cooking, and trying to figure out some kind of creative outlet!
I look forward to getting to know more about our team members!

Team meeting

Tonight we have a {birmingham} team meeting to talk about fundraising and pray about our time in Poland. We hope to hear from the Lord more about our purpose while we're there and pray for our team, the other teams and the people we'll meet while in Poland. We are getting close! Only 2 months from today we'll be arriving in Katowice!

Huge thanks to Josh and Meg for giving up their own personal Poland blog and creating this one for the whole team to use.  Thanks guys!!!!

Here we go!
