About Sidewalks

Curious to know more about what Sidewalks 2011 is all about??  Check out our 4 key principles!  Check back for some awesome blog entries that will be focused around these principles!

Love God and Neighbor
Sidewalks immerses you in a poor neighborhood of Lancaster city.  By limiting yourself to Lancaster city for six weeks and (mostly) fasting from your phone and the internet, you’ll learn to fully give yourself to those around you.  Lose your heart to someone who is not just like you, and discover more of Jesus in the process.

Do Justice
Intern at a ministry or service site in the city.  Serve the poor and learn from them.  Investigate God’s heart for justice, reconciliation, and a tangible gospel through Scripture, discussions, and guest speakers.

Live in Community
Live under one roof with other InterVarsity students and staff.  Share meals, money, and endless stories.  Pray, worship, learn conflict resolution, and grow tremendously together.

Grow in Kingdom Practices
Sidewalks is a transformational experience.  Challenge your lifestyle and current understanding of Jesus and faith.  Learn new ways of connecting to God.  Investigate God’s perspective on money, possessions, and way of life.
