YOUTH SUMMER MISSION TRIP JUNE 24-28 Sent to Serve, is this year’s mission trip theme. As Christians, we are called to spread the Good News of God’s goodness, love, grace, and salvation. As followers of Christ, we are to be obedient to His ways, caring for those in need and putting others before ourselves. Over the course of the week, youth will be doing just that. Along with their chaperones and mission site leaders, they will be serving the homeless, disabled, families and children being supported through various outreach programs. It is my hope and prayer that through witness and service offered and received, participants will grow a larger heart for Christ and a deeper understanding of His love and promises. In addition to serving, we will partake in daily devotions and enjoy fun evening activities. See Pastor Schalm for an informational packet.
