Mission Week

On June 10th - June 13th, 7th-grade to 12th-grade students are invited to represent St. Jude during our 2019 Summer Mission Week.  During this week, 150+ teens and 35+ adult volunteers will serve as the hands and feet of Christ to the local Allen/Dallas community.  Just to put things into perspective, last year we served 21 different sites this wee and  increased student registration by 40% (from the year prior)!  It is amazing the things that can get done when we put a bunch of determined students together with great adult leaders for a week!
    
Throughout the week we witness an authentic joy in both the communities we served and in the teens and volunteers as they gave of their own time to help the less fortunate in our communities.  Our teens are given opportunities to be fantastic witnesses of Jesus Christ through their prayer, service, and the various interactions at each location.

Thank you to everyone who has previously contributed to this week...not just our students, but also the adult volunteers who were here each day, parents and family members praying for this mission at home (yes, it makes a huge difference), and all those contributing to the solidarity item donations.  Throughout this week, our teens have the great pleasure of giving back to the community in which they live through acts of service and charity, and we couldn't do it without the entire team! 

To register for this year's Mission Week, contact Bridget or pick-up forms across from the youth office. Information and registration forms (for both student and adults) can be found below! We need lots of adult help throughout the week, so please consider volunteering the entire week (or even just a few days) alongside your student!
