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, Christmas Raffle Fundraiser, is complete. Our next one will be a Silent/Live Auction. More details to come in January.
- 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.
