Work Tour 2023!

We have 31 teens and 8 adults signed up to work with the Appalachia Service Project in West Virginia this June! They will be working directly with homeowners to do repair work that will enhance safety and well-being (roofing, landscaping, adding accessibility such as ramps, and anything else we are asked to do!). As with all things, the cost of travel has gone up.  Several opportunities to support our youth include: 

Back by popular demand: UCG stainless steel tumblers! – Available in time for our annual All-Church Retreat, UCG tumblers are available for order here . New this year, featuring your choice of either a teal or rainbow church logo!

Cypress & Grove Brewing Company has generously offered to host a Work Tour Round-Up Event on Friday, Apr. 7-Saturday, Apr. 8 from 7-9 p.m! Customers are asked to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar to support Work Tour. Live entertainment will be offered: 4/7: Front Porch Backsteppers, 7-9 p.m. and 4/8: Stella Bachmann’s band, Breakfast for Dinner, 7-8:30 p.m. Our Youth will be tabling at both events
