Youth Service Days: July 11 - 13 - Three Days of Local Service Projects to Help our Neighbors. About 10 of our Central youth and friends worked at Equilibrium Horse Stables to help handicapped children who go to ride horses, Victory House to serve lasagna, and painting a room at the South Bethlehem Neighborhood Center.

Convo 2005 - in Calgary, Canada
 
In July of 2005 many of our senior high youth traveled to Calgary Canada to join in a North American gathering of all Senior High Moravian Youth - called Convo. Our theme was "Learning our Story - Living our Mission" and we learned how to connect our Bible stories with our current mission as young people in the church.
Here we are making sandwiches for a homeless shelter in Calgary.
 

 

Earth Day projectsEach year our Social Action Committee puts together an Earth Day celebration, teaching our young people and adults the importance of environmental stewardship. Here are two youth learning how to plant seeds during last year's presentation by Rodale Institute. The day ended with a field trip to Rodale farms to learn about organic farming procedures (and stop for ice cream on the way home).
Ask Pastor Janel Rice about upcoming Earth Day and environmental involvement at Central Church.
