There are a number of opportunities for young people to experience God's love and grace this summer. Please share these opportunities with the young people in your lives.

Camp Compassion

7th grade - college age

July 28 - Aug 1, 2014

 

 

Camp Compassion is the Annual Diocesan Youth and Young Adult Mission Trip. It is open to Youth and Young Adults, starting with incoming High School freshmen. During this week-long mission, participants get to experience being the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.

 

In 2014, we will be joining forces with Mission:Possible which is a local mission trip sponsored by the churches in the Oakland Deanery of the Diocese of Michigan. 

 

Here is their welcome:

 

We would like to invite you to a local mission trip hosted by the Oakland County Deanery. Mission: Possible is open to 7th grade through college age students.

 

This summer at we will be working with amazing organizations in Pontiac like: Grace Centers of Hope, Baldwin Center and CCRT. These organizations will provide opportunities for youth to do things like: paint rooms, knock down walls, take out/replace porches, tile bathrooms, work in a food pantry, clean up walkways, deliver furniture to needy families, and more. We will be using shovels, paint brushes, brooms, and sledge hammers! Don't worry parents, many of the leadership and some of the youth are mission trip veterans, safety is our first concern! We also use work gloves, eye protection, hard hats and dust masks, when necessary.

 

DATE: Monday July 28th through Friday Aug 1st at 8:30PM  

PLACE: All Saints Episcopal Church, 171 W Pike St Pontiac, MI 48341 (This is an overnight Mission Trip)

Chris Gannon ([email protected]) 810-417-1055 or go to our Facebook page Mission: Possible   

COST: $275 - I have prayer and support letters to help youth do fundraising for Mission: Possible. I also have Oakland Deanery scholarships if the extra cost is a burden in any way.
