Fundraising Updates

Congratulations to everyone who helped raise funds for Youth missions. Through our Hoagie Sale and Fasnacht donut sale, we raised over $1300! Thank you for your enthusiasm and support! Not only do these events help us fund future trips, they build a better sense of community in the church.

Easter Egg Hunt @Home

Last year we had a bunch of fun delivering and hiding Easter eggs for children at their homes. It was a fun way to show our neighbors how much we love them. We’d like to try this event again this year.

  • The delivery day will be Saturday, April 9th.

  • Preschool and church families will be invited to sign up to receive these personal egg hunts.

  • St James Youth families will receive an invitation to participate in the hiding.

We make it easy! We’ll need at least one team (teen + driver) for every 3 families who sign up. Teams can be parent/child, siblings, or friends. All the eggs will be pre-counted & bagged. You’ll pick up eggs and your addresses fr delivery on the morning of the 9th. We will do our best to assign routes based on geographical proximity to other recipients and to the driving teams’ home neighborhood. Stay tuned!

 

Sr. High Summer Mission Trip – July 24-30

Our Senior High Youth will be heading on a Mission Trip this summer! We have committed to working with Appalachia Service Project (ASP). ASP organizes mission trips for thousands of youth and adults each year to lend a hand to our neighbors in need in this beautiful region.

We are currently awaiting our location assignment! Will it be West Virginia? Kentucky? Tennessee?? We’ll find out soon! Four of our Sr. High youth are committed to attending and we are opening registration for additional high school youth and adults to join us. Stay tuned as we pull together the details!
