Week Long Opportunities for summer 2011

Our summer trips give us an incredible chance to get outside of our comfort zone and serve others all over the place. God's calling on our lives is to be his agents of redemptive change, who, through the power of his Spirit, work to restore our lives & and the lives of others to the way he created us to be.  This year we have three missions going out, striving to put this into practice through some unique opportunities.

Fundraisers:

Don't let the cost of a trip keep you from participating. We've got several fundraisers coming up over the next few months to help make the trip costs more doable for you. Please plan to help in whatever way you can with all of our fundraisers (even if you don't need the money)!
