We are well on our way to New Orleans!

The generosity and support of our community for our five youth and two adults to attend the 2024 ELCA National Youth Gathering this July in New Orleans continues to grow!  We had an amazing second week of stock sales and coffee bar takeover, and we are happy to report that we have raised over $4,358 towards our $13,500 goal to fully fund this life-changing experience for our youth. 

There is still plenty of time to become an investor, or to prayerfully consider increasing your investment with more shares of stock.  As a reminder, stock shares are $25 each and there is no limit to how many you can buy!  Come say hi to our youth during fellowship hour this Sunday from 9:30am-10:30am and purchase your stock.  And, look for them again NEXT SUNDAY, March 3, as they once again TAKEOVER THE COFFEE BAR during fellowship hour for tips to go towards funding the trip.  Also, come check out our Youth Gathering “Stockholders” wall on display on the Art Wall next to the Sanctuary, where we are recognizing and thanking our investors, and featuring our Youth Gathering group.
