MIDLAND, TEXAS - From painting houses to picking up trash and hosting a car wash/bake sale, Midland Christian School students went throughout the city Wednesday performing community service projects.

This is an expansion of an initiative started last year when students logged a half-day of service. This year, 550-600 youngsters in grades seven through 12 participated.

Campus Minister Dale Myers said projects were organized by Bible classes; there were about 20 ventures total. The goal is to train students for service. “We feel it’s very important to have that as part of our curriculum, rather than just talking about it,” Myers said.
