Trip Description

GO TENNESSEE MS Students 2

East & Henderson Middle School Students, this trip is for you! The Ability Ministry in Tennessee is a home for adults with special needs. This is a fantastic opportunity to serve and have fun with this amazing community of people! You will travel to the beautiful hills of Tennessee near Knoxville, to work at Riverwood. This team will work at the Riverwood facility to do service projects and special events for the residents. Service opportunities include yard work, cleaning projects, organizing and more. The best part of the trip is sharing meals, games and fun with the residents, and getting to know them! You will quickly become friends and may be surprised at how much they encourage you as you share God’s love with one another.
