Service Trips Informational Meeting this Thursday Evening

Any student/parent who is interested in learning more about the service trips planned for this summer to Hollywood, Costa Rica, and Greece should plan on attending. Further, we will be taking sign-ups during the event, so students/parents should strongly consider attending to guarantee a spot on their preferred trip. 

Hollywood: This trip will be chaperoned by Dr. Phil Chew. Students will be partnering with the Hope Center, a Christian organization committed to holistic renewal of the city. This 3-day trip at the end of May 2024 will include preparing and hosting meals for unhoused citizens, assisting with renovations at the Hope Center ministry, and participating in their monthly "Day of Hope" event where they get to serve the homeless community by providing access to showers, free haircuts, and new clothes. We anticipate the cost of this trip to be minimal. 

Costa Rica: This trip will be chaperoned by Mr. Dusty Sanderson and Ms. Alicia Vessey. Students will be partnering with Joshua Expeditions and serving a local family by building a bespoke home for them to start a new life in. Students will get the opportunity to present the finished home to the family, and also assist them with purchasing groceries and supplies. A day of fun is also planned in this 6-day itinerary, which includes a catamaran cruise and a snorkeling tour. The cost of this trip is between $2,100-2,300, and the trip is planned for the end of May 2024 through early June 2024. 

Greece: This trip will be chaperoned by Dr. Charles Fields and Mrs. Lindsey Price. Students will get an unprecedented opportunity to enjoy the sights and learn about the rich history of this incredible country. They will also get the chance to literally walk and do ministry where the Apostle Paul worked! There is a great deal of sightseeing, learning, and serving planned for this 10-day trip that will depart in early June 2024. The cost of this trip is anticipated to be in the $4,000 range. 

We look forward to seeing you this Thursday evening.
