• Hello Church Family,
  I would like to sincerely thank you for supporting our youth through the Friendship Dinner Fundraiser. I am excited to share that the dinner raised an amazing $1,546, earning each participating student $81.37 toward their upcoming mission trips and retreats! These funds will directly support opportunities for our students to grow in their faith and deepen their love for the Lord. We could not have achieved this without your generosity, encouragement, and willingness to come alongside our youth. Thank you for investing in the next generation and for being such a supportive church family.
  With gratitude,
  Jessica Geurink, Youth Ministry Assistant
