The Learning Lab at Urban Ventures is the only place I can go to find peace."
Urban Ventures and 98.5 KTIS are working together to reach the Twin Cities with God's love and be the "Hands and Feet" of Jesus. You are invited to join Urban Ventures and the KTIS family for an exciting service event in south Minneapolis on June 15th.
This is an opportunity for your whole family to serve in the urban community. It's kind of like a going on a mission trip without the passports and extensive travel! But, at the end of the day, you'll have the same satisfaction knowing that you did indeed make a difference.
It all starts at 8:30 a.m. We'll gather for prayer and then be dispersed to various service projects encompassing light construction, painting, gardening, and general cleanup assignments at one of the nine Urban Ventures buildings and/or in the homes of participating families.
At 1 p.m., we'll gather back at Urban Ventures for lunch and a special celebration of praise! You and your family will then be on your way by 2 p.m. Please join us! Click on the banner above to register!
