For whatever reason our blog was down for a few months due to problems with the blogger website! I have big plans to begin using this site again for updates on trips, mission opportunities, important dates, and youth activities. I believe this is a wonderful way for everyone in our church to check out what the youth are up to and also see how they might get involved with our group!
I hope that everyone is having a relaxing long Labor Day weekend and is enjoying every second of it : ). While I have you here... I'll go ahead and give you some upcoming dates to put down in your calendar!
On September 9th, 2012 our youth will be having their first Luncheon Fundraiser of the new school year! The plate will include spaghetti, green beans, bread, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. ($5 per plate). Feel free to stick around and eat in the Fellowship Hall with your family and friends and then come on over to The Shed as we reveal all the hard work that has been put into it over the past month!
The money that the youth raise from their fundraisers this year will go directly towards their YOUTH MISSION TRIP this coming summer in 2013. This is the first trip we have taken OUT OF STATE and we are extremely excited about the opportunity! More information will be provided regarding our trip as soon as I receive details. We hope that you will support us in this opportunity as we follow our calling to GO OUT and love our fellow neighbors through missions. Be on the lookout for future fundraisers coming up : ). Thank you for your continuous love and support you have given our group. We know that without our church congregation we would not be capable of doing all that we have done and will do in the future.
