Youth Mission Trip Support

Each year there is a youth mission trip, a major service opportunity for high school students. Adult chaperones are needed as well. This trip’s purpose is to reach out to those in need, primarily by improving their housing. The youth reach out to those in poverty while enhancing the spiritual growth of participating youth and adults. Groups from a variety of congregations work together at a particular site. The trip requires a full week commitment during the summer, usually in July. Prior to the trip a preparation meeting and an overnight retreat are held for participants. Helping with fund raisers such as a car wash, spaghetti supper and van support are required. Committee members usually have a planning meeting once a month.
