2007 WORKCAMPS FOR BRETHREN

Mother Teresa said "We can do no great things, only small things with great love." Church of the Brethren Workcamps give us a chance to experience service and love firsthand. "Small Things, Great Love," the 2007 Workcamp theme, reminds us that God gives us small seeds of opportunity to put our faith into action. We can choose to use them in many ways. Workcamps nurture seeds - seeds of faith, seeds of service, seeds of hope - and promote growth with great love. Followers of Christ are called to come and see, and to act! When we follow the example of Jesus, we look to someone who fed the hungry; who gave drink to the thirsty; who visited the sick and imprisoned. Participation in a Church of the Brethren workcamp starts or continues the journey of service!

Workcamps are held all over the country for anyone Junior High through 100+ years old. The workcamp program expands this year, offering 35 workcamp experiences for Junior High Youth, Senior High Youth, Young Adults, and Intergenerational participants.. Our growth goal offers a variety of service environments like favorite Richmond, VA or first time site Dundalk, MD for diverse age groups. Everyone can find a workcamp to attend!
