Summer 2023 is coming!
In 2023, we are planning to offer three different versions of our traditional Summer Outreach Week. Each will be slightly different in how the program is attended, so that teams might find a certain week easier to put together for their team. Each week will feature our three Program Components, and partner participants with worksite partners in Hartford. In these programs, participants are challenged to think about how God may be using this experience to grow their desire to serve their home community. Along the way, Hartford will be discovered as a great place to experience the Joy of the Lord and a beautiful city that great people call home. Come worship God with us in Hartford, by blessing His people and praising His Name!
THREE PROGRAMS (WITH TENTATIVE DATES)
1) SUMMER OUTREACH WEEK: June 25-29, 2023 (Sunday - Thursday)
The Summer Outreach Week is our overnight experience, with participants housed at South Church in Hartford. This program adds an immersion experience of life in a shelter, helping build empathy among students as they serve in the city. This program is offered for church youth groups.
2) LOCAL MISSIONS OUTREACH: July 16-20 (Sunday - Thursday)
This program is our day-trip experience, emphasizing Hartford as the region's local missions field. It generally follows the same schedule as the Summer Outreach Week, but modified in consideration of participants going home each night. This program is offered for groups of all ages.
3) Either Weekend Outreach or Evening Outreach Week (date TBD, but after Local Missions Boot Camp)
We're still figuring out which format we will pilot in 2023, and will be making a decision by the time registration begins. This program will re-package the Summer Outreach Week in an alternative format, to provide an opportunity for folks who want to be a part of THP's work in Hartford but cannot commit to five full days. Stay tuned for details. This program will be open to all ages.
