YOUTH SERVICE: Blanchet House

Yeah! We get to volunteer at Blanchet House - our favorite from City Camp this summer. But since we're doing lunch service instead of breakfast service, we can sleep in :) The kids were surprised with how much dignity the meal was served with. It was a huge contrast from The Portland Rescue Mission. 

We'll be eating lunch after all the members are served. Last time around we had a very delicous meal. Note, we only have space for 5 volunteers this time around, so first-come-first-serve. This is a Friday, but it is Veteran's Day so there is no school. 

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING: The job assignments we have available to our volunteers are as follows, Cooks Helper (plating the food) Food Server (bringing the food out to the guests) Busser (clearing the tables of dirty plates and cups) Beverages (keeping the coffee, water and/or juice filled). 

WHAT TO WEAR: Anyone with hair below the shoulders must have it back in a hair tie. No open toed shoes, short shorts, half shirts, mini-skirts, or shirts with exposed armpits. Short sleeved shirts are fine.

Bring $8-10. As always, don't let money be the reason you don't join us! Just let us know. 

PS - It was super muddy last year, so wear your rain boots and warm clothes!

Middle School City Camp 2017: Justice Matters

Service. Slides. Skittles. Slillyness. Slumber Party. This will definitely be the highlight of your summer! We’ve partnered with 7-8 churches in Oregon to show God’s love to our Portland Community. Each morning we’ll break into groups and serve at a variety of non-profits in Portland. We’ll meet back up each afternoon and visit a new swimming hole each afternoon. We’ll finish each evening with games, God’s Word and gabbing.

WHEN: Sunday, July 30 – Thursday, August 3, 2017. Will begin after dinner on Sunday and conclude after breakfast on Thursday.

THEME: "Justice Matters." Our main focus scripture for the week will be the story of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8.

HOST LOCATION: First Presbyterian Church (1200 SW Alder St. Portland, OR 97205). They have an amazing commercial kitchen, tons of bathrooms and multiple floors so boys and girls will sleep on seperate floors.

COST: $175/participant. We’ll be doing several fundraisers to off-set the cost for families that need financial assistance. Let’s work together if finances are a challenge. We want you to be there!

WHAT TO BRING: Sleeping mats/air mattresses, sleeping bag, pillows, extra clothes, toiletries, towel, swim clothes, bible.

WHO TO BRING: Your friends. It doesn’t matter if they’re Christian or not. They’ll have a blast and know they’re making a positive difference.

NEEDS: We need an adult male chaperone willing to serve all four days to help us drive our students to each location (or at least 2 days and we can split it). We could also use a couple high school youth leaders who want to help serve and plan some silly games.

Note, pick-up and drop-off times may be modified as we get closer to the event (+/- ~1 hour).

Middle School PDXpedition

PDXpedition happens this Spring, March 17-19 and the cost per kid is only $25. You might be asking, "does that include good food, lodging, and an all-day train and bus pass (for the city-wide adventure game)?" Yes: includes all of that. Seriously, not a joke :) Some faithful worship leaders will bring solid musical skill and strong love for Jesus to the event. The main focus of each "session" is always the Word of God, honing in on the Gospel, and we invite different speakers each year. We're so excited to be partnering with other Portland churches for this event. 

PS - the pick-up and drop-off times may change slightly.
