YOUTH AUCTION

It's the time of year when our youth are beginning preparations toward their summer mission trip! This year, we are traveling to Belize to experience God in a third world context and to support and learn from the local church community there! Our primary support for our mission trip comes from our annual Youth Auction.

This year our auction will be Friday, April 21st and we welcome all of our congregation to consider items/services to be donated. Some favorite items historically given have been baked goods, services rendered (making a meal, babysitting, etc.) and household items. Pastor Brie will be collecting items through April 9th (for baked items or services, please let Pastor Brie know the intended donation by that date). Look for blue donation slips to hand in with your item/s. Feel free to contact Pastor Brie with any questions. Thank you so much for your support as we look forward to a favorite church family event!

WOMEN'S MINISTRY RETREAT & SURVEY

Women's Ministry will be going on a retreat from Friday, April 28th at 5pm to Sunday, April 30th at noon! We will have the pleasure of hearing from our keynote speaker, Kerry Hoke, as she leads us through this contemplative retreat focused on finding true rest in God.

Our goal is for each woman to leave this retreat feeling more deeply connected to God and each other, and with a few more tools in their spiritual toolbelt. All women are invited to attend! The retreat will be held at Kenbrook Bible Camp (190 Pine Meadow Rd, Lebanon, PA 17046). Sign up online here, or feel free to contact Pastor Carmen with any questions.

In addition, Women's Ministry is going through a time of revitalization and needs your input! Click here to fill out a survey with your thoughts for the future of this ministry, or ask Pastor Carmen for a paper copy.
