    Appalachia Service Project  
 

ASP was nothing like I ever expected and it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience that has taught me a lot. Its something that everyone should experience and it changes your outlook on life.

  APPALACHIA SERVICE PROJECT (ASP)

 

ASP is a great organization whose primary goal is to make homes warmer, safer, and drier for the people of the Appalachian region of the US.  ASP is so much more than just working on people's homes though.  Lives are transformed when youth from around the country become the hands and feet of Christ and serve one another out of His love.  THAT is what ASP is all about:  serving others in the name of Christ.

 
   
 
  ASP 2010 This year, we are taking 55 high school students and 22 adults to Floyd County, Kentucky.  We will roll out early in the morning on Saturday, July 10th, and will return for the 10:30am worship service on Sunday, July 18th.  We're looking forward to another great week of serving God and having Him change our lives through this experience! Please keep our group in your prayers as we travel on our journey!  
   
 
  SUPPORT ASP It takes lots of fundraising to make this trip a possibility.  If you'd like to support this year's trip, consider becoming a stockholder!  ASP stock sells for just $10 per share.  As a stockholder, you receive daily email updates from the road.  You will also receive a postcard in the mail from one of the students on the trip.  Lastly, you'll be invited to a reception when we return to hear all the stories and see all the pictures from our trip.

 

If you would like to purchase stock, please send $10 along with your name, address, and email address to the attention of Melissa Swanson at the church.  Email Melissa (see the info box on the left) with any questions!

Remember that we have a MANDATORY meeting at 5:00pm in Fellowship Hall on Friday, July 9th.  Bring all your stuff for the trip with you that night.  We'll pack up the vans so that Saturday morning goes much faster!

  Eyes on the Prize:  Racing to Serve

 

1 Corinthians 9:24

Our week in Kentucky is not just about helping people in need.  It's about following the example of Christ and being true servants.  Not only do we need to prepare physically and mentally...we need to prepare spiritually as well.  How can we share Christ with others, if we aren't prepared ourselves?

 

Please take a moment to go through these discussion questions that will help you spiritually prepare for our week at ASP.
