Appalachia Service Project Info Meeting and Registration
Sunday, October 13 | 12:15PM | FLC Garrison Chapel
All high school youth and their families are invited to learn more about this year’s summer service trip with our long-time partner Appalachia Service Project. For more than 40 years, we have sent youth and adults to Appalachia to build relationships and make homes warmer, safer, and drier. The tentative dates for the 2025 trip are June 20 – July 1. This info session will cover details about what to expect as team members prepare throughout the school year for this 12-day trip, which includes overnight stops at local churches along our route to Eastern Kentucky, a week of service on small construction teams deployed throughout the community, and a chance for reflection and camping at DeGray Lake State Park on the way home. Bring your questions about this formative experience that has become a beloved tradition for young people at First Church and, if you are ready to secure your youth’s place on the team, a check for the non-refundable deposit of $50. The total cost for each participant is $400, which can be paid in installments, plus a commitment to fundraising. Email Devon Bailey with questions.
