Service Opportunities are regularly posted on the service bulletin board, announced at school and posted the school web site. Students are not limited to these projects and are encouraged to develop service activities, which may interest them.
If you are uncertain whether an activity is truly Gospel Service,
check with the Service Coordinator first.
He has sent me
to bring glad tidings to the lowly,
to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and release to the prisoners.
Isaiah 61, 1
