Wrapping Party & Cookie-Baking this week!

This week we’ve got TWO big events that will help to SERVE people locally, nationally, and internationally.

First, we’ve got our Operation Christmas Child Wrapping Party this Thursday, from 2:30pm until 4pm. Both Jr. & Sr. High Youth can come up to the church building after school, and we’ll listen to Christmas music and have some snacks and have a great time as we wrap all of the shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. It’s a little crazy and lots of fun, and these shoeboxes full of presents will be sent across the country and around the world to children in need who otherwise wouldn’t have anything at Christmas.

Next, on Saturday evening from 4pm til 6pm, we’re serving our recent LUMC graduates by Baking Cookies! Both Jr. & Sr. High youth are invited to come and help bake cookies that will be sent to our 2010 grads during their final exam time. We won’t be serving any food at this event, but it’s highly probable that some of the cookies that we bake will end up in your child’s stomachs. If you’re willing, we would love it if you could contribute to these gift packages by sending some pre-made dough or ingredients and a recipe along with your child to bake.

Thank you so much for your support of these programs! Youth participation in serving our local and international communities is a critical part of growing closer to God. By serving others, we help to show our love to God.

See you on Thursday and Saturday!
