Thank You

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Greeting Card and Print Sale a success. The Mission Trip team really appreciates the support. We are still collecting donations of items needed for this years trip. We will continue to have the tubs set up in Heins Hall, items can be dropped off at any time. We have already recieved some donations and have updated the list on our website.

We are currently working on our next fundraiser, we will be announcing it within the next few weeks. All we can say right now is it's going to be a lot of fun for the whole family and we hope to see you there!!

Fundraiser and Donations

The Mission Trip Team will again be in Heins Hall on Sunday selling Greeting Cards and Prints. This will be the last day for this fundraiser. We'll still be collecting donations of items also. There are tubs set up in Heins Hall, items can be dropped off at anytime. We'll continue to collect donations of items after our fundraiser has finished. We have a large list of needs this year, our biggest need is the White T-shirts and Spray Paint. Spray Paint can be new or used but we ask that the T-Shirts be brand new since we'll be putting a screen print on them for the kids we'll be working with this year.

Ultimate Date Night Event

The team will have a table set up tonight at the Ultimate Date Night Event being held at Faith. We'll have some of the cards and prints available for sale tonight and we'll also have some flyers and brochures available that explain more about what our team will be doing this year and the group we will be working closely with. Please stop by and say Hi!!

Fundraiser Day 1

Today was the first day of our team fundraiser and we had an amazing turn out. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, we appreciate all the support from the congregation. We'll have a table set up again next Sunday the 14th and also on the 21st from 8:30am-11:00am. We will also be collecting donations of items needed for this years trip. There are tubs set up in Heins Hall now, you can drop off items anytime. Thank you again for your continued support of this mission trip.
