Mission Discovery II is the continuation of our service opportunity which began Spring 2007. MDII is a wonderful vehicle for all of us to learn about the needs of our community and to engage in group volunteer service projects in response to those needs. The kickoff for this event will be Saturday, October 27th from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. During this time, we will do some team building exercises, learn about the importance of service in Christian faith, and select our volunteer projects.

Following the kick-off event, each team (of 6 to 8 people) will volunteer in the community, participating in 2 or 3 projects over a seven- or eight-week period. Each team will select its own series of projects. Some of the available projects are listed in this brochure. The projects come from all areas of service including: Health Care, Shelter, Education, Hunger Prevention, and the Environment.

What our volunteers are saying:

"As Christians we are called to reach out and share God's love with our community. Mission Discovery is a great opportunity for us to serve those in need right in our own backyard."

" I have always wanted to help others in my neighborhood but just didn't know how to get started. The Mission Discovery Program at College Park Presbyterian has provided me countless opportunities to reach out and serve others. I have found I can make a difference in my community."
