Outreach for Special Needs Children
Youth Fellowship members have an outreach opportunity coming up at Grace City Irvine Church, which is organizing an “Egg Hunt for Special Needs Children.”
This event is on Saturday, April 1st from 8 AM – 12:30 PM, at Jeffrey Trail Middle School, 155 Visions, Irvine, CA 92620.
The church needs volunteers to help with setup, welcome & registration, and running the egg hunts. This will be a great opportunity to share the love of Christ with others and help the community.
If you are under 16, you will need an adult chaperone, and we would suggest that you sign up to help with welcome and registration. All those above 16 can help with welcome and registration or the egg hunts themselves.
