What is it? This is an urban mission trip to Pittsburgh. You'll find crazy cobblestone streets and soaring steel bridges that connect neighborhoods with elderly, isolated residents who need help NOW !
What will we be doing? We spend our days in service working on home repairs for these residents. Some of the projects include painting, dry walling, carpentry and yard work. They might include such things as roofing, minor plumbing or masonry work, replacing doors/windows/floors, etc. We see the difference we've made by the end of our week. We'll also know that God worked through the relationships we've built and the work we've finished. Hopefully, we'll come away wanting to make a difference in a neighborhood near us at home.
What about down time? After each day of work, we gather for reflection, teaching & worship so that we are nurtured & encouraged for the ministry back home. This camp is designed with the hope of transforming hearts & minds toward Christ. Our group will be challenged to take on a worldview that is based on Christ like service and instruction from the Bible.
How old can you be to attend? You must be going into the 9 th grade to attend this mission trip. We will be leaving for this year's trip on Sunday, June 20 and returning to Warren on June 26, 2010 . If you would like more information, please contact either Dawn Larson,Heidi Ketzko or Matt Donaldson through the First UM Church at 723-4930.
