SPRING BREAK SERVICE TRIP in Baltimore: March 11-13, we'll head to Baltimore again for a weekend helping out at Helping Up Mission -- an absolutely amazing recovery community which is incredibly successful at helping people break addictions and become healthy, educated, responsible, and employed -- and also provides food, hot showers, clean clothes, and overnight shelter for people living on the streets.  We'll have the opportunity to meet people whose lives have been saved by this mission, and to serve alongside them in helping to keep their community running!  It is one of the most rewarding places that I've ever volunteered -- and I highly recommend joining us for this rewarding experience!  (Co-sponsored with United College Ministries).  We went there last year, and here is what one student said:

"Helping Up Mission was really, truly wonderful. The people working there and the men going through the program are friendly and enthusiastic and very happy. A lot of the men working there had gone through the program themselves and decided to stay as staff members. I can't tell you how inspiring it was to be there...."

 

YOUR IDEAS:  Please let us know if you have ideas for service projects that you'd like to take part in (or plan), social events for drawing our community together, Bible study topics you'd like to learn more about, etc.
