All Saints Camp Bahamas-July 1-7 2012
For students in grades 9-12

185346_10150270904646431_129229751430_8269257_1549850_nJuly 1-7, 2012 A team of students from Grace Community and Harbor of Hope Christian Church will partner with Next Step Ministries for a week long missions trip to All Saints Camp in Nassau, Bahamas.

"The crumbling sidewalks and dilapidated cabins of the All Saints Camp in Nassau, Bahamas tell the story of a neglected community, suffering from AIDS and HIV. The dismal conditions of the camp are a result of lack of finances and support. Shunned for their illness, the residents have been placed in an area on the Island separate from the hustle and bustle of Nassau’s tourism and commerce.

Many of the small wood cabins in which they live are deteriorating and need to be repaired or completely rebuilt. The shelter's sanctuary, bathhouse, and other buildings, are also in desperate need of expansion and repair. In addition, the concrete walkway through the camp is so cracked and crumbling that many residents cannot safely leave their cabins".

Our team will work on various construction projects throughout the week, everything from mixing/ laying  concrete to make new sidewalks, to building new cabins, to doing repairs on already existing cabins. We will also get many opportunities throughout the week to interact with the residents that live at All Saints.

They will participate in service projects such as yardwork for elderly residents, serving meals at soup kitchens, cleanup in local parks, sorting food for distribution, and helping sort toys, clothes, books and games at Cradles to Crayons. Through these projects, the students will also get to meet and interact with those they are serving, making connections that leave a great impact on them.
This trip provides a unique oppurtunity to see and serve the needs of those who live right in our own backyard.267609_165172633554686_100001858507481_376478_4490062_n

Student Ministry Winter Retreats

Uprising(9th-12th grade) – February 3rd-5th

Where: 144 Bromback Street, Pittsfield MA 01201

Drop-off: 4 p.m. Friday, at Grace Community Church

Pick-up: 2 p.m. Sunday, at Grace Community Church

Theme:

Timothy in his second book clarifies the source of the Bible as “inspired by God”. The phrase “inspired by God” in the original language literally means God-breathed, meaning if a person lives a life marked by the Bible their life is marked by God’s very breath. We want to create a concentrated environment where we equip ourselves with the tools to be able to read the Bible on our own. We want to read the Bible for all its worth. For some people that journey will start this weekend, for others the journey will continue.
