Summer Service

Week

August 2-6, 2010

 

Young people entering grades 6 – 12 are invited to spend a week

God’s call to serve

by volunteering

at non-profit agencies throughout the city of Duluth.

 

9:00 am to 4:30 pm

Monday through Friday

(Tuesday until 9:00 pm)

Love one another as I have loved you.  John 15:9

 

This is what the Lord requires, that you do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.   Micah 6:8

 

Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land.  Deuteronomy 15:11

 

Seek the welfare of the city.  Jeremiah 29:7

 

Faith without works is dead.  James 2:17

 

Throughout scripture, God calls on the people to remember the poor, to care for their neighbor, and to build up the community.  We have established this week in Duluth to help young people respond to God’s call and to offer them the opportunity to know the joy that can only be found in helping others and making a difference in the world.
