Avenues for Homeless Youth

Avenues for Homeless Youth is a local nonprofit organization that supports youth ages 16-24 experiencing homelessness in Hennepin County. Upper Room will be heading to their Minneapolis shelter from 11am-2pm to serve lunch and help with an organization/cleaning project. This is a great opportunity for us to gather outside of Sunday in an effort to serve and LOVE our neighbors! Please join us by registering by February 20th! (Please note that this is a 21+ opportunity based on Avenues' requirements). If you have any questions, please e-mail Andrea.
The Immigrants' Journey Immersion Trip
May 23-26, 2019 | Register by March 1 | $850 + airfare
Have you been drawn to the story of immigration in the US? There are 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. How might the church be mobilized as an instrument of peace in this human reality? What does it look like to take seriously Jesus’ mandate to care for the foreigner among us? How might we approach immigration from a human perspective guided by a Jesus ethic? If you are interested, you have an opportunity to go on this immersion trip to San Diego & Tijuana. Email Raquel Jarabek by March 1 if you are interested in going.
