We appreciate everything that everyone is doing to make these two events a Big success. We understand being tired and overwhelmed with too much , too close together , while also trying to live life. We will pick up this Fun event for our children next year and hope to add new volunteers along the way. Sister Carmen has volunteered to research neighborhood events in the community and create a Flier for family suggestions as the date approaches. If you find any fun events , please share them with her so she can post it.

If you are paying online by credit or debit, (no place for notes), please send Elder Edmund Clegg a text letting him know your donation is for the “youth special offering”. We are excited to plan FUN outings and events for our young people to build relationships with God and one another. Let’s teach them that “Church FUN” can be as enjoyable as the “World FUN”.
We will continue to be on Facebook Live. We are still needing someone to volunteer to coordinate Zoom for Wednesday Night Bible Study . See Pastor Jackson if you are interested.
