What is Amigos Days?

2009 work dates are April 24-25 and May 1-2.

The rain dates for Amigos are May 8 and 9 Amigos Days is a hands-on ministry where urban and suburban churches are joining together with residents of urban neighborhoods to make a difference in the city. Holy Covenant partners with 30 area churches to help with hands-on revitalization of local neighborhoods. The goals of Amigos Days are making disciples of Jesus Christ, supporting urban churches in mission, building strong, on-going relationships between urban and suburban churches, and restoring and revitalizing urban communities.

Any level of experience is welcome. People Helping People, the organization that we work with, has asked that only youth 14 years old and above be allowed at the worksite. If there is a youth between 14 and 17 who is interested in helping, the parent will be required to sign a Release of Liability Form, and also work at the work site on the same day. The house we will be working on has some rotten wood that needs to be replaced, trees and shrubs that are to be cut down or trimmed, screens that need to be replaced, and lots of scraping and painting.

HOSPITALITY HELP: To keep everyone's energy and hydration levels up, we'll need help with hospitality. Help is needed to provide bottled water, sodas, baked goods, snacks, etc to the worksite. Another area where you can help is the Fiesta, which is a celebration with the other churches who are working on houses in our area. There will be games, food, entertainment, etc at our host church. Thank you to all who have already signed up to help.

DETAILS FOR WORK SITE VOLUNTEERS!!
FOR YOURSELF: Please pack a lunch: coolers will be available. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen. Also, bring an old blanket to spread on the ground at lunch.

TOOLS NEEDED: We will be scraping, painting, trimming trees and bushes, and replacing rotten wood and old screens. Please bring any tools that you have that will help us get this job done. Such as: hand and power tools, scrapers, paint brushes, work gloves, hammers, ladders, tape measure measure, prybars, saws, etc.
