1. WAYS OF LIVING THE GOSPEL TODAY SERVICE

2. RECALL SOME VOLUNTEER WORK YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST Some volunteer work I have done in the past is the Sri Lanka Mission trip. We did hundreds of hours of work in order to raise $7000 for the schools in Mannar which involved making school booklets, purchasing educational games, market days, high tea and many other fundraisers such as selling food. It took us about 18 months to plan for the 2 week trip which was a life changing experience. I made many new friends and I now have a new home away from home.
