Youth ~ Your help is needed!
Let's raise some money for the BackPack Project!
Will you to draw a picture (or multiple) of something that reminds you of God's love. Then we will add a bible verse or your message in the picture, and then make it into a greeting card.
We can put these into bundles of 5 and sell them for $5 and use that money to purchase a backpack to be given to someone in need!
Here is an example of what Evelyne made with me on Sunday at church. I'll have the supplies and more examples at church this Sunday!
