Grade 7 and 8 Ministry
Being and becoming the young church of today
 
Do you want more opportunities for your 7^th/8^th grader to grow in compassion?
Do you want him/her to know God rather than just know about Him?
 
Our newly formed 7^th/8^th grade youth ministry will be involved in a Summer Mission trip with teens from around the country.  We plan on serving the poor in Pittsburg, PA the week of July 15th!
Despite the beauty of this city, thousands of children and adults don’t know where their next meal will come from—and Pittsburgh also has a large homeless population. It’s our privilege to partner with ministries and organizations committed to addressing these and other needs.
How We'll Serve
As we enter into the lives of others and build relationships with the people of Pittsburgh, we’ll experience God working through us at projects such as these:

• Serve at a local farm stand as well as a local nonprofit cafe that provides fresh produce to city residents, helping with serving food, cleaning, packing, organizing the pantry, and gardening.
• Bring hope and help to children by co-leading day camps and daily programs, making crafts with them, and even cooking a mid-day meal at various kids programs around the city.
• Assemble distribution kits at a local food bank.
• Complete light exterior rehabilitation of homes for elderly and disadvantaged families in the community

Cost: $266 + transportation fees
We will meet regularly on Thursday evenings from 6-7 at the Youth Ministry Center to prepare ourselves to serve and to plan our trip (consider if we want to fund-raise, if so, how etc.)
