A Vision Trip like no other. Every summer hundreds of teen moms head to Young Life camp to hear the Gospel in a relatable and impactful way. To make it all possible, volunteers from around the country spend a week caring for the children of the teen moms. Common Ground has 5 spots available for a team heading to Timber Wolf Lake in Michigan, July 16-21. Cost is $514 plus travel.

Please join us on February 4 from 9 am to 12:30 pm for a showing of the documentary 13th. This documentary, from the director of the movie Selma, focuses on the influence and impact of race in the criminal justice system in America. The movie asserts a direct connection and correlation between the passing of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, Jim Crow laws in the American South and the phenomenon of present-day mass incarceration. The movie will be followed by a time of large and small group discussion.

This event is free and childcare is available if you register by Thursday, January 26. General registration closes Monday, January 30. Please click here to register.
