Pastor Jon Hauerwas is searching for a community project for St. James Presbyterian Church, 910 14th St..
February 10, the Mission Committee held a meeting to discuss possible ideas for the project—Learn, Play, Act. One idea discussed was an afterschool program for students at Lowell Elementary School. On Wednesdays, students are released early from school at 1:15 p.m., rather than 3 p.m..
Other facets within the community were addressed for possible community projects such as education, counseling, housing and civil rights to name a few. St. James Presbyterian Church would team up with community organizations to donate their time and resources.
The committee will review proposals based on volunteer needs, financial needs and take away opportunities for church members. Proposals are due April 5.
The Mission Committee will decide on a project to undertake in May.
