MISSION WEEK & 5th GRADE MISSION SQUAD
July 13 – 17
We offer a very unique and meaningful experience this week for our Included Special Needs Participants. We use an adapted version of the Middle School mission week schedule with a greater focus on serving in our community both indoors and outdoors. Participants will be dropped off at 7:15 am so they can eat breakfast with all of the work teams before going out to their own mission project and experience. They will then have a fun afternoon activity before heading to dinner and worship. We ask that they be picked up after worship each night at 8:30 pm. Spaces are limited to ensure the safety of our participants and an overall quality experience.
We are also in need of Included Buddies to help us that week. Buddies will come alongside our Participants and serve as mentors throughout the week. We ask that you are at least 16 years old to serve as a buddy during United Mission Week.
If you have any questions about our Included Experience, please email us at included@fmcm.org.
