Special Project Day and Grilling Out

Hey everyone! Saturday, April 17th we are going to have a youth group "special project" day and then we are going to grill out at the Rosekopf's house. Working on the special projects will be from 2pm-5pm and then we will grill out right after that. The special projects are; painting VBS signs and decorations, organizing the youth room closet, organizing all of the new college information that I received, and maybe a little touch up painting in the youth room. If you would like to help paint bring some painting clothes when you come. If you have any questions, feel free to call Pastor Jake or Loren. This is for both Jr. and Sr. High students. Pray for good weather for grilling out! Seeya there!
