10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 1
The Intergenerational Day of Service is a day of service on Saturday, Feb. 1, that will be based in different parts of the presbytery: Bream Memorial Presbyterian Church, Charleston; First Presbyterian Church, Clarksburg, and Highlawn Presbyterian Church, Huntington. These are part of the Day of Service of Souper Bowl Sunday.
People ages 10 through adults from across the presbytery are encouraged to join together at the sites to participate in local mission in a variety of forms. You might find yourself at a food pantry, a clothes closet, or helping elderly people in their homes.
While the focus of the event will be the same in each area, with Opening and Closing Gatherings that are the same, the work sites and projects will vary. The day begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. All participants are asked to bring a bag lunch as lunch may be eaten at their work site.
There is no cost to participate, but in order to help those coordinating these events at the various sites, often with local agencies, pre-registration is vital. Registration deadline is Thursday, Jan. 23. Those under 18 should be accompanied by an adult, who, if other than a parent with a youth participating, will need to complete a background check or have one on file at the Presbytery office. In addition, participants are asked to fill out a medical/emergency form and bring it with them to the event.
An information flyer, registration form, and medical forms (first page for youth, second for adults) can be found here.
