Urban Plunge This Weekend

Our annual Urban Plunge is coming up this MLK Jr. Weekend, January 16-18th. This weekend is geared towards middle schoolers who want to serve in their own backyard and learn more about life in an urban setting. We have some great activities planned this year, including working with a food bank, serving dinner at a homeless shelter, and working with two transitional living facilities, as well as various cultural activities including two worship services quite different than MIPC, using urban public transportation, sampling alternative cuisine, and learning more about refugees in Seattle. I am very excited about this weekend, it is always a great time to watch our students grow and be challenged in thinking deeper about missions and life that is different from their own.
