Go Metrolina Update

There’s still time to get involved.  We’ve been getting a lot of questions from our Church congregation asking “Now that the plans have been made, how can we get involved in the actual volunteering?”  So, here’s what’s coming up…See each group for contact information.  We would love to have you join us in one of the upcoming activities.

The Youth Group:

The Youth Group Volunteers have had 3 very successful outings at the Salvation Army Center of Hope in Charlotte the last 3 Sunday evenings.  They have received great feedback from the Center on the level of participation, compassion, and fun that the team has provided.   This past Sunday we were able to donate clothing to the Center and in the previous two visits have been able to minister to the children through various activities! 

 NO YOUTH EVENT THIS WEEKEND!
