March Middle School Trip!!

GLOBAL VILLAGE @ Calvin Center, Hampton, Ga
March 26-28

Our middle schoolers will live in Global Village from Friday night into Sunday morning and be immersed in the day to day occurrences of life in a poverty stricken village. A day quickly becomes occupied with the following…

· Preparing the next meal (over an open fire)
· Making bricks (in the Brick Factory) to provide more shelter
· Fishing in the pond to discover just the ‘extra’ piece of food for the next meal
· Building a shelter in the Global Village Slum
· Harvesting food from the field where produce is grown
· Collecting water and making sure it is used wisely

Global Village participants will see through experience and simulations how important the simple parts of life are and how we can often take them for granted. Participants will get to barter with market people in purchasing their own food and really ponder the challenge of not having enough money to purchase the things they need even for basic human nutrition.

WHEN: March 26-28
WHERE: Calvin Center, Hampton, Ga.
(Same place as last summer’s middle school mission trip)
DEPART: We will leave the church sometime Friday afternoon. Details to come!
ARRIVE BACK HOME: We should be home by late afternoon on Sunday.
COST: The total cost for the trip is $65.
DEADLINE: To sign up, you mist submit your $65 by March 7th

Youth Serving Those Who Serve

A message from the Session...

Dear Middle & Senior High Youth,

We sure did enjoy your thoughtful gift. The cookies are delicious and the boxes really made them festive. We are so fortunate to have you as team members doing service, being thoughtful and caring. Your enthusiasm for doing what Jesus would do is exciting. Keep up all the good work. Thank you so much.

Blessings to You,

The Session

Head down Nelson Farm Road, when you hit the intersection of Nelson Farm Road and Lee Street, go across Lee Streen into the new subdivision. You see Nelson Meadow (??). It's your third right. Go to the end and you'll know which house from there!
