The youth (all 18 of you) will begin viewing some of the documentary When the Levees Broke by Spike Lee during Sunday School. However, all youth are invited to come and watch. We will also spend some time doing community building, and getting to know one another better during this time. We will spend April 20, April 27, May 11, and June 8 during Sunday School preparing ourselves for our trip. And for those who are not able to participate in the trip, you will enjoy being a part of this as well. Chaperones are also invited to attend.
