We are expecting everyone to take part in this
project and we will supply transportation. This project will take place in
downtown Oklahoma City about 9 miles from the campus and is sponsored by Youth
In Mission/Youthserve. Please stop by the YIM/Youthserve booth in the Commons
area for more information about service projects for high school teenagers.
There are summer projects available around the USA and Canada. See
http://www.nyiyouthserve.org/ or
http://www.youthinmission.org/ for further information. Rev. Joel Tooley,
Youth Missions Coordinator, and Jill Fothergill, Youth In Mission Assistant,
from Nazarene Missions and NYI will be available during Q2006
We will be involved in a cleaning up the building
project with all quizzer, coaches and officials being involved. Because of
the nature of the project we are asking each person to bring clothes
appropriate for working in a dirty, dusty environment. Their will be specific
jobs assigned to many groups with adults as the leaders. Guests may also
volunteer by informing their Q2006 district or local church responsible
person. Registered users of Q2006 should poll their guests for interest and
then inform Bill Horning (see address information below).
For those who cannot participate directly, we
have a few other options near the campus. First, after the fireworks display
and celebration at the park in Bethany, some clean up will be required. This
consists of taking out the trash and general pick up of the area. This is a
service we can provide to the community. Second, we will prepare crisis kits
and school supply kits for Heart to Heart International. Kits may also be
prepared during times when quizzers are not quizzing. The location for the
kit preparation will be disclosed at the event or in an update email.
Additionally, we are soliciting quiz material
from any book(s) for distribution to our global quiz areas. This project is
called Sending Out Scripture (SOS) and is being coordinated by one of our
teens from Maine,
We will have a short celebration service after
the project in Herrick auditorium. Some participants will have the
opportunity to share their experience.
Thanks for helping make this a fruitful project
for everyone. God has helped us find a need that we can meet.
