YOUTH MINISTRY
We LOVE Palo Alto
Youth Service Week - July 27-31, 2020
Register and Join Us!
Youth who have just completed 5th - 12th grades are invited to join us for the week of July 27-31 to show We ❤️ Palo Alto! We will gather outdoors at the church from 10:00-3:00 each day to do service projects for the church and the wider community, reflect together on the ways our faith speaks to the challenges in our community and wider world, and have some fun together. Lunch and snacks will be provided. Masks and other health and safety protocols will be observed. Register here!
Leaders for the week will be Eileen Altman, Sam Putney, Scott and Lynnette Carey, Lisa Kellerman, and occasional visits from David Howell.
Our typical daily schedule will be:
10:00-10:30 -- Welcome, Morning Reflection, Setting Up the Day
10:30-12:30 -- Service projects
12:30-1:30 -- Lunch and Spiritual Sandwiches (led by youth)
1:30-2:15 -- Play/fun
2:15-3:00 -- Learn about a topic/issue in the community, with spiritual reflection, closing ritual
On Wednesday, we would like to do service projects and play off-site. If you know of an outdoor organization or garden that is accepting community volunteers this summer, please let us know. Our recreation that day is likely to be a bike ride, but other ideas for safe outdoor play are welcome.
If you have expertise or interest in a community need or problem and would be willing to share that with the group one afternoon, let us know. Examples of possible community topics include:
