Community Service

Community Service is a large part of what we teach and empower here at Upper Room Christian School. Today for example our Senior Class will be preparing over 500 shopping bags of fresh groceries for needy families this Thanksgiving season. The school itself raised over $1,200 and brought in several bags of non-perishables and we add that to over $10,000 worth of food that was donated by Upper Room Christian World Center and food that was donated by local pantries.

Over 500 families will receive a Turkey and all the fixins ready to be prepared as well as over 300 hot meals that will be distributed to the home bound Thanksgiving morning. Our students work for about 4 hours today and many even come back tomorrow to help with the distribution of the food.

We will do it all again for Christmas! As our students serve their community they practice their Christianity in real and meaningful ways and can witness the love of Jesus in meeting the needs of others. Christ did not come to be served but to serve and we here at URCS endeavor to live out of that principal.
