Purpose

This event encourages students to make Christian service an integral part of their lifestyle. It promotes creative thinking in coming up with new ways to serve the church and the community. (Note: This is SERVICE, requiring preparation and service time. It is not just an impromptu "good deed".)

Process

Each participant will:

• Complete at least three service projects (choose from list included) to be considered a participant in this event.
• Complete the Award Certification Form. The local Church Coordinator must verify the completed projects and sign the original form.
• Mail the original Certification Form and the typed report to the Event Coordinator on or before March 12, 2010.

The Event Coordinator will:

• Send confirmation of receipt of each form and typed report to the Church Coordinator.
• Provide a list of awards to the Pre-Convention Coordinator by March 22, 2010.

Rules

• Participation is open to all students. Remember, younger students can participate in the higher-grade category projects if desired.
• Participants are encouraged to create at least one service project that meets the needs of an individual, builds up the church, or improves the community. (This is optional.)
• If a participant creates his/her own service project, the idea should be included in the written report. The project should be identified on the Certification Form as project number 28 as appropriate (see list of Project Descriptions by grade category below). Appropriate numbers must accompany each service project and be correctly referenced from the list.
• Local program coordinator will sign the certification form after the participant has completed the service projects. These can be confirmed by parents or other adults who have knowledge of the service done. Each adult must verify correct service project numbers are used.
• Local program coordinators should verify that any "Create-your-Own" service projects be a minimum effort of TWO HOURS, which includes preparation and service.
• Certification forms are to be sent to the Service Challenge Coordinator at the address listed at the top of these instructions. Forms are to be postmarked by March 12, 2010.
