SERVICE/MISSIONS
Plans are already in motion for more students to participate this summer. Read below for details.
Poland 2012 - Around June 12-20
Students must have completed 10th grade and be 16 years of age by June 1, 2012. We keep the trip dates a bit fluid due to our efforts to keep flight costs at the absolute minimum. Our team is now closed. We will have our next meeting on January 15 at 12PM. Additional, monthly meetings will be posted for 2012. We will serve in Krakow, Poland with International Mission Board missionaries James and Angela Roberts. Projects that are being considered are street evangelism, ESL classes, vacation Bible school, construction, and more.
Brownsville - July 2012
Students and adult sponsors serve in Brownsville, TX, but the trips into Mexico are will depend on conditions in Matamoros. In 2012, there will be no trips into Mexico. The trip is planned for July 2012. Students lead Backyard Bible Clubs for neighborhood children in Brownsville and perform service projects in town.

This inventory serves as a good place to start in ministry and does not limit what God can do through you. Just because you don't score well in a specific area of ministry does NOT mean that you shouldn't do it. God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called. |

Parent Meetings
In an effort to keep parents more informed, parent meetings will be scheduled every 2 months.
The next meeting is November 6, 2011 at 12PM in the youth building.
NEWSLETTER-The Pupak
The newsletter through December 2011 is published and ready for download. We publish a newsletter of student events titled the Pupak. The website is your most up-to-date source for all the ministries of the VPSM, but we do try to publish a print newsletter with relevant information. This can be found by clicking the link below or visiting the student building.
