The cost of the weekend per person is $130.00; in addition to that cost is covering a portion of our chaperones expenses, transportation to and from camp, rentals and lessons. We have some students that are in need of scholarships to attend this Spiritual and Fun Weekend.

Any donations to support our youth are greatly appreciated. Not able to make a monetary donation? No worries, please pray for us, that we have a successful spiritual weekend trip, that are youth will grow in relationship with one another and that they will grow in a deeper relationship with our Lord. Thank you!

MISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS
New Mission Outreach Opportunity: For every month in 2015 we will collect specific items, for the Yarmouth Food Pantry. They have provided us with a list of items that they desperately need and so our focus items in February which they have requested are “Paper Products.” Therefore if you have an extra can you could spare please bring it in and drop it off in the brown box located next to the offices in the Narthex hallway. If you have questions please see Kate.
Changing the World for February is the Wounded Warrior Project. Every donation truly makes a difference in the life of a solider, and their families. Please consider helping in any way that you can. The Wounded Warrior Project helps to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members. They also help injured service members by providing unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of the soldiers and their families. So, by placing your loose change in the collection plates, every coin is making a difference in the life of a soldier. Thank you for helping!
