BERLIN, CT (March 17, 2009) \u2013 Registration is open for the East Coast Conference pre-CHIC Work & Worship weekend in Berlin to be held May 1-2.
\n
\nThe weekend will include a mix of worship, games, and volunteering in the community. More than 100 people attended a similar event in 2006<\/a> tied to that year\u2019s CHIC Gathering. Participants do not need to be attending CHIC in order to participate in the East Coast event.<\/p>\n

The weekend will begin with a youth-led worship service at 7 p.m. Friday, May 1. All ages may attend. The evening will include testimonies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re planning to have student speakers preach on the need of loving and caring for neighbors in need at home and around the world,\u201d says Becky Poor, pastor to youth and families at Bethany Covenant Church in Berlin. \u201cWe\u2019re going to take an offering of canned goods for local food banks, and the youth group that brings in the most canned goods will win a cool prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d love to have local youth groups help us lead worship through drama, music, dance, sign language or other ideas,\u201d she adds. Anyone interested should contact her by April 15.<\/p>\n

Games and other activities will follow worship. This part of the evening is open only to senior high students and counselors.<\/p>\n

Following breakfast and prayer on Saturday, groups will volunteer in the community. Activities might include serving at a soup kitchen, assisting a one-day VBS program, visiting the elderly, painting and cleaning, or working at the children\u2019s home. Other possibilities are being explored as well.<\/p>\n

The groups will return to Bethany to share experiences and pray before leaving at 3 p.m. Cost is $20 per person, which covers food and work supplies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that this event will not only reach out to people in need, but will also bring East Coast students together and will better prepare our hearts to encounter God in amazing ways at CHIC this summer,\u201d Poor says.<\/p>\n

Churches interested in attending should email Poor by April 15. Registration forms are available by emailing her<\/a>.<\/p>\n
