Our high school youth and adult leaders spent Thursday serving, learning and building relationships in the Pittsburgh area!
The morning began at Agape, a church camp in Hickory, Pennsylvania, where the group helped clean up fencing, organize an outbuilding and move rocks that had washed away during a recent storm.
Alita shared, “There were a variety of jobs at Agape, but I chose to help clean out and organize a storage unit. We spent about an hour and a half moving boxes, closets and other items that were still intact to make more room.”
Anna added, “Alita and I had fun moving furniture and organizing a storage shed, while others weed-whacked, swept rocks and took down fencing.”
In the afternoon, the group visited Beit Kulanu, a synagogue near their campus, to learn more about their Jewish neighbors. They explored Jewish traditions, toured the Biblical Botanical Garden and heard powerful stories from survivors of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting on October 27, 2018.
The evening ended on a lighter note with a ride on the inline tram and, of course, ice cream!
It was another meaningful day of serving, listening, learning and accompanying others.
