News

Thank you to everyone who came out last Sunday to deliver the flyers for our annual Souper Bowl food collection. It was cold and wet, but everyone was a trooper. Thank you too for your patience with our IHOP trip. I apologize for the reeaalllyy long wait. Youth and parents alike behaved very well and were very gracious in dealing with a longer-than-expected EYC.  At least the pancakes were good!

I hope all of you can come back Sunday to go back around the neighborhood to pick up the donations. We only meet from 4-5 Sunday, so you can get home for the Super Bowl. Dress for the weather again. And the faster we get the food, the more time we will have for Scatterball. I will need 4 drivers to go with the kids to pick up the food. Can any of you help?

There’s still more going on, so check out the events below:
