Here are a few
updates on SummitServe 2015!
-The
trip will take place June 20-25, 2015. The Zion youth, accompanied by awesome
chaperones, will travel to Estes Park, Colorado to spend time serving others
and learning about Jesus!
-There
are 27 spots on the trip for students entering 9th- graduating 12th
grade in 2015. Sign up will be on the website summitserve.blogspot.com and the signup start date will be February 13th at 5:00PM. Sign ups are
first come first serve until all spots are filled.
-The
cost of the trip is $200 per student. Scholarships are available if cost is an
issue. The first $100 is due by Easter
Sunday (April 5) and the second $100 due June 1. This does not include
money for food or extra spending (it is recommended you send an extra $100 per
child for these expenses.) All other costs are covered.
-Zion
will be accompanied by the youth group from Lutheran Church of the Cross in
Altoona. After consulting with the students they all agreed this was a great
idea. We will drive separately and stay in separate places, but will be
together for our service projects and some Bible study and social events!
-The Easter Breakfast Fundraiser will be
mandatory for all students attending the trip. Students must serve a
minimum of 2 hours on Easter Sunday at this fundraiser. We will time the
volunteer shifts so the students are still able to attend worship. The funds help offset van and fuel costs for
the church.
-Regular
attendance at Sunday school and Wednesday night youth group (STARS Academy Builders
& Believers) is recommended for each student attending SummitServe. We
understand conflicts come up, but attendance as often as possible is very
important to prepare the students for this great experience!
-All
questions and concerns can be directed at Kate
Howe- katehowe@ziondsm.org or 515-270-8142. There will be an informational
meeting with LOTS of details in May- prior to the trip.
