SAINT PAUL'S YOUTH ARE ON MISSION...TO CHANGE THE WORLD!
CURRENT MISSION PROJECTS
PROJECT 6-4-1
Saint Paul’s Youth and the Missions Committee are teaming up this year to become a part of the Florida Conference’s Project 6-4-1. Project 6-4-1 challenges Florida churches to be “committed to making a difference when disaster strikes” by preparing and storing 6 cleaning buckets for (4) 1 year (6-4-1). We have the buckets, and now we need your help to fill them! A list of needed items and sign-up sheets will be available in Sanders Hall each Sunday until we get those buckets filled. So come by and help us be prepared!
SOUPER BOWL OF CARING
On Sunday February 7th, 140 million Americans will tune in to the Super Bowl football game. There will be parties with abundant food, friendship and fellowship. At the same time, there will be people worrying about staying warm, finding shelter and finding something to eat. Saint Paul's Youth with the Missions Committee are joining young people around the country as they demonstrate God’s love by loving their neighbors through the Souper Bowl of Caring. It’s a simple, yet significant act of caring for others. Our youth will hold soup pots outside the sanctuary so that you can drop a monetary donation in the soup pots as you leave worship on February 7th. There will also be a donation table in Sanders Hall for canned goods and other non-perishable items. All donations will be given to ECHO. Those who need help may not know that you cared, but God will. Please support our efforts.
UPCOMING YOUTH MISSION FUNDRAISERS
YOUTH AUCTION & CHILI COOK-OFF
Mark your calendars for Saint Paul’s most delicious tradition…the youth host a chili cook-off to find the best chili chefs in our community. Come to compete or just come to eat! Then stick around to “bid” on a youth to do some housework, yard work, or to babysit at our Youth Auction. All proceeds go to help fund the Summer Youth Missions.
STOCKHOLDERS
Invest in our Youth and their Summer Missions to change the world through Christ by becoming a "stockholder" this May. Stockholders will support an individual youth through a monetary donation and prayer. In return, that youth will correspond with their stockholder while on their mission trip. Then, at the end of the summer, all Stockholders will be invited to be served by our Youth at a Stockholders' Dinner during which the youth will share pictures and stories about their experiences.
SUMMER 2010 MISSION TRIPS
SENIOR HIGH - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Our Senior High Youth (grades 10-12) will travel to Bombita, Dominican Republic this June 19-26 in order to serve the local youth. We will have the opportunity to organize and facilitate a Youth Camp experience for the youth in Bombita and the surrounding towns. Participants are required to attend monthly meetings with the purpose of bonding our team and learning more about the people, history, and culture of the Dominican Republic.
MIDDLE HIGH - BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA
The Middle High Youth (grades 6-9) will participate in urban ministry in Birmingham, Alabama through the organization YouthWorks in August. Participants will have the opportunity to perform a variety of services for different agencies in downtown Birmingham. This experience is designed to demonstrate the many types of mission work and ministry that are available. Participants are required to participate in one local service project (TBA) together before the trip.
