| 2016 MISSION TRIPS | | |
SAVE THE DATE
This summer, every CCC Middle and High School youth has an opportunity to go on a mission trip! A mission trip provides an important avenue of spiritual formation for all young people. On mission trips, youth grow in faith through the disciplines of manual labor and simple living in community. While working for others, youth experience the generosity of those whom they are helping. These week-long trips provide a way to experience God that has lasting impact on a young person's life.
CCC is offering four mission trips for youth:
June 27-July 4, 2016: Dominican Republic
July 4- 11, 2016: Dominican Republic
July 17- 23, 2016: Chicago
August 7-12, 2016: Mission: Possible! In Detroit
Current 6th and 7th graders are eligible for the Detroit trip. Current 8th graders through college students may go on any trip. Trips range from approximately $600 to $2,000, including transportation. Each student can receive help in raising funds. This year, we are delighted to be partnering with the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan and local churches to make these trips possible.
