Backyard Mission Camp: Summer of Service Challenge
A Summer of Loving Neighbors & Doing Good Stuff
The Backyard Summer of Service challenge begins on June 1 and wraps up on July 29. The goal is to log 100 or more hours of loving our neighbors and doing good stuff across the summer.
There are two ways you can be part of the challenge.
1. GROUP PROJECTS: Scheduled throughout the summer. All ages and abilities are welcomed.
- Building a wheelchair ramp (2-3 day project in July)
- Leading worship & serving dinner at Opportunity House (Thurs. June 30)
- Hosting a King-for-a-Day party (Date TBA)
- Yard Work & Odd Jobs Days (as-needed)
2. INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS: Take a look around, find a need & figure out how you can fill it. Few ideas
- Tutor a kiddo this summer. Help boost their reading skills & confidence.
- Help an older person learn how to use their technology
- Hold a food drive to support Shop & Share walk-up food pantry
- Provide a meal or bake for someone who would enjoy a meal and a visit
- Send a card to US Military members
- Host a car wash or lemonade stand to raise money for a local charity
Invite others to be part of this challenge. We want to inspire people from all over to do good stuff in their communities. This isn't a church thing ... it's a Jesus thing!
Send us your photos, share your stories and let us know what it's been like to intentionally focus on loving your neighbors. Email photos to Jen Hedrick duhsciples@gmail.com
SMALL GROUPS & FELLOWSHIP ...
We want to offer ways for all ages and backgrounds to connect with others. This could be through simple fellowship or meaningful gatherings to discuss relevant topics. Small groups and studies are constantly changing so be on the lookout for something that speaks to you!
