AT FIRST CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE, 15 adults are preparing for a work mission trip to Coban, Guatemala, from April 23 to May 3. Funds are being raised through a number of church projects to cover some of the $900 cost per team member. This will be the first group the church has sent to Central America though other work projects have been undertaken. The Roanoke group will help build a school.
