We have an exciting opportunity to take a group to Charleston, SC August 16-18 to volunteer with a First Baptist Greensboro ministry partner, Metanoia. Bill Stanfield grew up in Greensboro and was shaped in his faith by our church. He started Metanoia in 2003 in an underserved neighborhood in North Charleston. That included moving to the neighborhood with his family and taking an “asset-based” approached to the community’s needs by focusing on the strengths and gifts already existing in the community. It will be a great opportunity to both serve and learn more about this innovative ministry.
Trip details:
When: August 16-18
The plan would be to drive down on Friday, work/volunteer/learn with their projects on Saturday, worship on Sunday morning and them drive back. Of course, if folks wanted add days on the beginning or end of the trip you would be welcome to plan that.
Who: Youth and one or more parents from a family.
Open to rising high schoolers and those who have just graduated.
Where: We will be staying at a newly renovated hotel in the community: Starlight Motor Inn. Each family will have their own room.
Cost: $125 for each family to help cover the hotel rooms. Food and travel will be up to each family.
Deadline is August 1. If you have any questions or would like sign-up to go, please connect with Buck Cochran (buck@fbcgso.org)
