YOUTH FUNDRAISING – CHIC, Camps, and Outreaches are coming up and so is fundraising for the high school students! We are having a gift wrapping fundraiser. We will wrap all of your Christmas gifts for a donation on November 26, December 17, and December 23 from 12pm-6pm. Please let your friends and family members know we are wrapping gifts. The more people who know about the event, the more successful it can be. We are also in need of items to wrap these Christmas gifts. We need wrapping paper, tape, gift tags, ribbons, bows, boxes, and whatever else you can think of needed for wrapping. There will be a box in the foyer to deposit your material donations. If you are interested in helping the high school students fund raise or have ideas for another fundraiser, please contact Danielle Marty or Pastor Josh.
