On Saturday, September 28th, youth from First Presbyterian Church’s newly formed youth group traveled to Milwaukee’s near South Side to take part in Milwaukee’s first year of participating if the ‘Big Day of Serving’, a national movement to bring youth together to serve. More than 400 participants from local and out-of-state youth groups, along with neighborhood residents, worked on projects that included painting porches, cleaning vacant lots, and renovating parks. The Oconto youth began the day in worship and continued by forming two teams that painted porches, landscaped yards, and cleaned up trash. It was moving to see the gratitude from the residents who came out to help and say thank you, as well as seeing the hearts of the youth being transformed. If you would like to take part in First Presbyterian’s Youth Group and mission trips such as this one, please feel free to join us on Sunday evenings at 5:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church, 133 Jackson Street – all are welcome!
