National Youth Gathering Fundraising Events

As you know there is a cost involved in taking our youth to the National Gathering and we need your help.  There will be the usual fundraisers:  Fudgefest, Easter Breakfast, Spaghetti Dinners and maybe even a couple new Fundraisers.  There's a rumor that there might be a Crop Day for scrapbookers! 

Gathering Envelope Campaign

We are “kicking off” our fundraising events this weekend with a Gathering Envelope Campaign.

Here’s how it works … Its simple! …

·         We will have Envelopes numbered 1 through 200. 

·         Take an envelope (or 2 or 3)

·         Put money in the envelope that equals the number on the front of the envelope

·         Return the Envelope to the church office.

If you add 1+2+3+4+5 and so on up to 200 we have the potential to earn over $20,000!!!    

Take as many or as few envelopes as you like.  Go together with family and friends to fill them.  Stop by the table in the Narthex and see if your lucky number is available.  The Gathering team thanks you in advance for your support over the next year.
