Counter Culture (Sr. High Service Opportunity)
In the midst of today’s culture that promotes a “Me first, bigger is better worldview” God calls us to humility, love and serving others. Counter culture is a monthly opportunity for grades 9-12 and friends to live out God’s command. Each month we will take part in a different service opportunity.

Blood Drive Much of today’s medical care depends on a steady supply of blood from healthy donors. While 60% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, only 5% donate regularly.
Roll up uour sleeve and give the gift of life; be a blood donor. The foremost reason donors give is because they “want to help others.” To donate blood, you must be age 17 or older, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Volunteers needed to coordinate the bi-annual blood drives.
