Each year we try to do a couple of events with the youth of the parish that involve service to our community. In April we will be volunteering with the South Loop Community Table (SLCT).

SLCT is a weekly dinner party for those experiencing homelessness, co-hosted by two campus ministries in Chicago: the Inclusive Collective and South Loop Campus Ministry. Holy Trinity has volunteered here in the past with Pastor Ben Adams and it was a very enriching experience. I encourage you all to participate. SLCT is a space that strives to break down barriers that society has created — barriers that tell us who should and shouldn’t build community together. It is a space made of folks that believe wholeheartedly in the power of community—of seeing people for all of who they are, no matter their situation. SLCT is a celebration of God’s kin-dom, a living example of how God intended the world to be: inclusive, communal, loving, and just.

In order to plan for transportation for everyone we'll need the youth to sign up in advance to let us know they will participate. I will need one more chaperone (possibly 2) to drive and to volunteer with us.
