Students Speak About Service Project

The following is an edited press release from the :

Malibu United Methodist and  churches recently sent 20 high school students from their combined youth group on an outreach trip with the Sierra Service Project to the Susanville Rancheria in Northern California. The site is populated by descendants of Maidu, Pit River, Paiute and Washoe Native Americans. 

Students earned 40 hours of community service while painting houses, cleaning city streets and building wheelchair ramps. They also had lots of fun meeting other youth from churches in Palos Verdes and San Luis Obispo.  The youth hiked in the hills, swam in mountain lakes and shared cool evenings while building friendships.

To learn more about the Sierra Service Project, Youth Leader Victor Eichhorn invites the public to join MUMC youth in sharing their experiences at the church on Sunday, Sept. 18, at 10:30 a.m.

The MUMC/St. Aidan’s Youth Group meets at MUMC on Sundays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. (middle school) and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (high school). Call 310-457-7505 or send an e-mal to malibuyouthleader@gmail.com for more information.
