Thank You for a great 2010! See you again July 28-31, 2011!


Weekend of the Cross Shreveport/Bossier W.O.C. is a Christ-driven mission opportunity offered by the Shreveport District United Methodist Church. W.O.C is offered each year to youth (completed grades 6-12) who feel a calling to serve Christ in the local community. The goal of W.O.C. is to spread the love and grace of Jesus Christ to those who are in need of help. W.O.C. uses repair and maintenance opportunities as a doorway to share the Good News of the Gospel. While at the four-day event, youth experience unconditional giving like that of a servant. They will also experience dynamic Bible study, evening worship, and planned evening activities to encourage fellowship!

What you experience...

Weekend of the Cross is more than just a local mission trip.Work Teams
W.O.C. is designed specifically for the youth groups and individuals who are looking to make a lasting impact on the community. You are divided into work teams who are sent out to do light construction on people who would be lost without your assistance. But W.O.C. is more than just work projects. Many of the teams come to know their homeowner and make lasting impressions on them. But your experience doesn't end there.

Activities on Campus
We all return for an evening of awesome activities. From the gym and pool to the grounds of campus there are many things for you to do. Plus our breakfast and dinners will be at the wonderful Centenary Cafeteria.

Worship & Guest Speaker
Each evening we experience dynamic worship and are challeged to live in the WORD by a weekend speaker. Worship band and speaker for 2011 will be announced in early 2011.

Where?
W.O.C. is held in Shreveport, LA. Housing for youth and adults, as well as most meals and activities, will be held at Centenary College. Worksites will be across the Shreveport/Bossier Community and lunches will be served at various local churches and organizations.
