Registration
from 6-8,
then we gather together and meet all of the other wonderful
folks that have joined you in this mission adventure.
We'll sing, go over the rules, schedule and activities,
then let you go to sleep!
We
will be spending the morning and afternoon working
on your mission project with a break for lunch. Lunch
will be delivered to your site.
After we finish work for the day, there will be a
short break and we are off to Jackson Park for a cookout
and inter-group sports challenges. There are baseball
fields, soccer fields, tennis courts, nature trails,
basketball courts and more. Well have tons of
equipment and plenty of games.
Later on, we all gather at the amphitheater
(weather permitting) for a time of worship and sharing.
Each day when our program is over, we encourage you
to meet with your group and follow up on the day.
For part of the day your group will
be involved in an outreach project. It could be helping
out at the local rescue mission, providing a meal
for local migrant farm workers and their families,
visiting shut-ins, food distribution or running VBS.
This part of your mission experience is meant to compliment
the construction type work that you did; affirm the
hands on hard work and round it out with
an outreach project from your heart. The balance of
your day is free time until the closing program at
8 oclock. Closing program will wrap up your
mission experience by showing the video of your week,
singing the songs that youve learned and charging
you to make mission work something you are constantly
doing, whether planning a project in your own back
yard or overseas.
This
is your day to take advantage of local attractions. Along
with Carowinds and the Biltmore Mansion there are a myriad
of opportunities for fun in the area. Everything from ropes
courses, horseback riding and mountain climbing to sightseeing,
river rafting and more. Check out the Links Page for a look
at some of the local activity. We check out from the hotel
first thing in the morning and make your way home from whatever
activities you decide on for the free day.
