The Youth and Children's Department has been very busy working on many fundraisers to allow us to go on a few trips. The first fundraiser we did was a car wash. The support from the community was shocking. Then we had a lunch one Sunday after church. The support from the church was very nice. The latest fundraiser we had was selling BBQ plates for $6 each. Each ticket sold invited people to church and the children sold tickets like professionals. We sold tickets for nearly 700 plates. Part of the success was that we had volinteers to deliver plates to businesses for lunch. We could have used more drivers, but it went over pretty well. Then for dinner, people could come pick up their plates and we had like a drive-thru set up. Some bought extra plates, and we came close to serving 800 plates by the time the night was over.
Receiving a prize for being our top sellers were brothers Tyler and Taylor, each selling 74 BBQ plates. WOW!!!
There are two more fundraisers scheduled before we go on our First Annual Fall Reteat, where we will be studing the character of God.
We have been blessed in so many ways with the children's ministry in ways such as support, a growing Y/C department, and new families joining our church in membership. Everyday we should be in prayer thanking God for these blessings, none of which we deserve but that He desires to give us.
