Hi Trinity Teens and Parents!
We wanted to talk to you about the upcoming event this Sunday (9th). Most of our activities center around fun, fellowship, and our relationship with God. Another important part of our teens' Christian lives involves nurturing their awareness of service opportunities at church and in the community. Last Fall we met at a Trinity member's house to spend an afternoon raking and trimming as well as all-around yard clean-up. The teens talked with the home owner and were able to see her appreciation for the truly HUGE difference in her yard.
This Sunday, we will have our second service project at Riverside Place, 400 E. Main Street in downtown Midland. Riverside is a senior independent living facility. Our service will be two-fold: 6 boys are needed to work with maintenance staff and at least one Trinity adult volunteer to flip residents' mattresses, and all other teens (boys and girls) will socialize with the residents while making a Valentine's craft together. Board/card games will also be available for the un-crafty! Riverside is not a nursing home - the residents are simply living in an apartment building comprised of a senior population. They are active and independent and would love the opportunity to hang out and talk with the younger generation!!
Punctuality is important. We plan to be at Riverside from 3-5. You have the choice of dropping your teen at the main entrance of 400 E. Main Street (Trinity volunteer will be there to greet) or at the Youth Center by 2:40. We will leave at 2:45!
Our goal is for the teens to experience service as a benefit to themselves as well as those they serve. God's service is also FUN and an important part of Christian maturity. Please encourage your teen to come, and we encourage you to serve as well. We would appreciate extra adult volunteers for this project.
