Brethren Volunteer Service (BVS) announces the start of the 2012
Summer Orientation. To be held June 10-29 at the Brother David Darst
Center in Chicago, Ill., this orientation will be the 297th unit for BVS
and will consist of eight volunteers from across the US and Germany.
Three Church of the Brethren members will attend, and the remaining
volunteers come from varied faith backgrounds, adding a healthy
diversity to the group’s orientation experience. A highlight of the
three weeks will be a simple living weekend stay at the Kindy Farm in
North Manchester, Ind.
A BVS potluck is open to all those who are interested on Friday, June
15, at 6 p.m. at the Highland Avenue Church of the Brethren in Elgin,
Ill. Come with a dish to share to welcome the new BVS volunteers and to
share your own experiences.
For more information contact the BVS office at 800-323-8039 ext. 384.
As always your thoughts and prayers are welcome and needed. Please
remember this new unit and the people they will touch during their year
of service through BVS.
