Sr. High Mission Trip
Port Jervis, NY
June 28 - July 4, 2009
Cost: $409
The City of Port Jervis, nestled in a beautiful river valley surrounded by the Northern Appalachian Mountains, reflects Mainstream America not only in the mix of its residents, but also in the time-honored tradition of self-reliance and commitment to hard work. It has a rich history and a proud heritage rooted in transportation and industry. It's specifically known for its landmark railroad and canal, engineered by the city's namesake, John B. Jervis. Unfortunately, outsourcing, global competition and new technologies are forcing U.S. companies (particularly smaller manufacturers) to streamline operations, reduce costs, and ultimately, cutback jobs in order to remain competitive and stay in business. These changes have attempted to derail the spirits of Port Jervis residents and bring their quality of life to a halt. By visiting Port Jervis, you can help make the houses as beautiful as the surroundings and keep the hopes of its residents right on track!
COST:
$409 with fundraising opportunities
available. You can also use $100
scholarship the church provides if you don't use it towards Pine Springs.
Any teen going into the 9th grade the 2009-2010 school year is eligible to go. Non-Member Sr. High Students (i.e. Friends) are allowed to sign up for the
Mission Trip as well, but are responsible for paying the entire $409 since
scholarships and fundraising is not available.
5 spots are still open. A $50
deposit is needed to hold your space.
Please watch the church bulletin, newsletter, mailing and
Sr. High Fellowship bulletin board for details on upcoming fundraisers. All
Fundraised dollars up until this point will be evenly distributed between the
youth; However, from here on out, all the proceeds from a fundraising event
will only go to those teens participating in that event. Also, please keep an
eye out for a work day, which is in the process of being scheduled for May.
There will be a mission trip informational meeting on Sunday, May 17th
immediately following the 11:00 AM service. A pizza lunch will be provided.
This meeting is MANDATORY for teens and their parents.
Please contact the church office (724-863-5910) if your
teen is interested in attending the trip. If not filled, the spots will be
released at the end of May.
