FOCUS Ministry:
Youth & Family Ministry:
- Fundraising Opportunities: The Youth & Family Ministry has started fundraising initiatives in order to get the youth involved in raising funds to support some upcoming events, church-wide camps and group activities. Parents often do all they can to ensure their youth is able to participate in as many things as possible. The latter can get expensive, especially when there are multiple children in the Y&F ministry. Thus, the youth will be involved in these initiatives in order to help them build a sense of responsibility, ownership, teamwork and community. Our first initiative is the Christmas Raffle Fundraiser. Please see the announcement under Teen Ministry.
- Holidays @the Swamp (H@TS): Holidays at the Swamp (H@TS) is a New Year's event for grades 7-12 that takes place at Camp Swamp. This year's event will run from December 29 to January 1, 2025. The event includes: 3 nights lodging, 8 meals, a New Year's Eve party with a DJ, fireworks display, Bible classes and a photo booth. The cost of the event is $225 per camper, with a required deposit of $50. Register early as the price increases to $275 after December 18.

Teen Ministry:
- Last Sunday for Christmas Raffle Fundraiser/Secret Santa: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"...a wonderful time to encourage someone with a gift.

If you don't wish to leave it up to chance, then there are several baskets available for order. Be sure to stop by the display table at church on Sunday, December 15th. Note: this is the last Sunday for the display table, to put in orders and to enter the raffle(s). The raffle drawing will occur no later than Tuesday and the winners will receive a text or an email letting them know they won. Baskets, those for order and raffle winners, will be brought to the church building on midweek (18th) and Sunday (22nd) services.
