What is ASP all about? - Appalachia Service Project
ASP trips are a wonderful way for our youth to immerse themselves in a very different culture and perform meaningful mission work. We here at First Church are so proud of the important work we have done each summer in Appalachia and are so pleased that so many of our youth are participating. It doesn’t hurt that we always seem to get assigned a home to work on that has a great family to get to know. Our youth not only get to hone their construction and repair skills in plumbing, roofing, carpentry, sheet rocking, painting, and electrical, but they get a chance to give hope to the families we help out. Helping our teens to view the world without their Connecticut glasses on, even if only for a week, has helped develop lasting impressions and fond memories.
We have several fund raiser (car washes, tag sales, parents night out etc.) throughout the year to help pay for our youth to go.
