This summer’s mission trip will include NATIONAL YOUTH EVENT! Thousands of UCC Youth from around that country will gather at Purdue University for 4 days of worship, exploration, and leadership training. We’ll also participate in a lead-up mission trip that will include hands-on work with communities in need. Mark your calendars NOW for July 7-14, 2012! The trip is open to students 13-18. Registration opens Nov. 7 and does fill, so please sign up ASAP!  Cash or a check to Central for $50 reserves your place on the trip. Put “NYE” and the name of the child in the memo. Final deadlines for registrations is March 1, 2012. NYE only happens once every four years—you don’t want to miss it! The total cost of the trip will be comparable to other mission trips an will depend on fundraising during the year. Scholarships are available based on need through Central and the RI Conference. Stay tuned for more info coming soon!

Want to support our youth and other RI youth going to NYE?

 

Be a part of this life-changing trip by sponsoring RI youth and helping kids attend NYE who otherwise could not afford to. Former participants talk about NYE as one of the single most pivotal events in their faith journeys. It’s fun; it makes a difference; and it changes lives!!!
