NAMPA CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL SERVES NAMPA WITH COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY
April 23, 2010
Wednesday, April 14, 2010, several Nampa community businesses and non-profit organizations will benefit from services provided from Nampa Christian High School students. The Nampa Christian “Community Service Day” is a new event which helps the students to realize their importance as volunteers in the community.
Each class will serve at different organizations during the day. Freshman are going to the Boise Rescue Mission, sophomores will be at the Nampa Idaho Center to work on a landscaping project, the junior class will be going to the Nampa Fire Station training grounds where they will clean up the grounds, and then go to the home of a Nampa family to clean up their yard. The senior class will be at the Nampa Salvation Army to paint and fix up their facility.
Nampa Christian Bible teacher Jim Evenhouse organized the Community Service Day in an effort to encourage students to continually explore new ways to serve the community. He said, “The Community Service Program has the potential to train students to prioritize serving others, to promote a positive image of the youth at NCHS, and most importantly to provide a chance to visibly display the love of Jesus to others.” For more information about the Nampa Christian Community Service Day, contact Jim Evenhouse at JEvenhouse@NampaChristianSchools.com or 466-8451 xt. 2133.
In addition to this special community event day, Nampa Christian Chapel Services are involved with several other community projects such as ministering regularly at the Nampa Care Center, sponsoring the “Adopt- a-Family” program during the Holiday Season, mentoring younger children at local public schools, and several other community related programs throughout the years. The Nampa Christian Key Club is also very involved in the community by participating at the Festival of Trees to benefit the Meals on Wheels program, hosting the American Red Cross blood drives, participating in the March of Dimes, Give Me Five event and ringing the Salvation Army bells during the holiday season.
