Welcome to Westminster's Youth Page!
|
We are currently focusing on the theme of
"SERVICE"
--We can all be servants of God.
What does this mean?
What does it require?
|
During the month of January, several of us had the opportunity to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by getting dirty. We spent a couple hours pulling weeds and removing diseased potatoes from several rows at Left Foot Organics Farm in Olympia. Left Foot offers jobs and job skills to local citizens with developmental disabilities. It was a beautiful day and a fun time together.
Our next volunteer activity is planned for February 12th. We'll be heading out to Glacial Heritage Prairie, just west of Littlerock, where we will work alongside the local Nature Conservancy to pull up scotchbroom and invasive plants that were once kept at bay by the fires of Native Americans in the area.
We have discussed and are planning to Adopt-A-Highway-- stay tuned for more information on that!
