It's time to get ready for the
2018 ELCA NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING
in Houston!
We are READY TO GO! 23 students and 6 adults will be heading to Houston from June 27-July 1, 2018. Please pray for us as we prepare for a new worship experience!
Upcoming and Current Fundraisers
-Coffee Bar will be open between services on Sunday mornings. Students have tea, coffee, cappuccino, or hot chocolate available, along with a selection of baked goods!
You can donate your empty redeemable cans & bottles by placing them
in the barrel in the lobby. Also, be sure to watch upcoming bulletins
& newsletters for more ways to help!
Watch Our Progress!
Are you curious about how far we’re getting in our fundraising
quest toward the trip? Keep an eye on the map in the lobby to watch
how far we have gotten together. Don’t worry—the route on the map
is NOT the route we will take to Houston!! Every time the bus moves,
we have raised another $1,300 toward sending 29 people from our
congregation on our great ministry adventure!
We are over halfway to our goal! Thank you for your support!
