When the Church joins forces to serve the community, wonderful things happen! On Saturday, December 21, Regional Young Adults gathered to serve with the community in Pomona at UrbanMission. Our group mulched the community garden, organized the community food pantry, and sorted through toys for local children donated to local families. We also enjoyed fresh vegetables from the garden, amazing pasta (shout out to Na’Keya Haslett), and apple cider for dinner. We played Christmas charades with our Regional Minister, Richie Sanchez, and shared Christmas gifts to celebrate the season.
There was a clear spirit of partnership, and the connection with our UrbanMission family grew significantly. We extend appreciation to Revs. Nora Jacob, Al Lopez, and, especially, to Stephen Patten for the hospitality, coordination, space, and time given so that we might have the privilege of serving together. THANK YOU!
If your ministry is interested in hosting a mission project and fellowship for young people in the PSWR, please reach out to Associate Regional Minister, B. J. Barlow, to schedule a date. See below for a slideshow of more photos from the day.
