Hope UMC Youth Mission trip
Thirteen
high school youth and adults from Hope United Methodist Church, 2203
S. 3rd Avenue, recently spent a week in Minneapolis, MN.The group worked for the Urban Immersion Service Retreat which
is in partnership with 25 service agencies through out the
Minneapolis/St. Paul area.The agencies included homeless shelters, meal programs,
clothing, food and furniture distribution centers, battered women's
shelters, transitional housing facilities and summer youth programs.The Hope UMC mission team provided service based on the needs
of the agencies they were assigned to each day. In addition to the
service projects, the group spent each evening reflecting and learning
about the struggles of people in poverty.At the end of the week, the mission team developed a service
plan to help support and serve those in need within the Marshalltown
area because as Christians we must follow Jesus' example of service to
others. If anyone is interested in finding out more information about
the Urban Immersion Service Retreat you are encouraged to contact the
