”Cookies and Carols”
This Christmas time fundraiser has become legendary within the community. The youth stay up all night baking 150 dozen cookies and assembling cookie platters. These platters are purchased by members of the congregation as Christmas greetings for their friends, and the platters are delivered by the youth group to the recipients’ doors with joyous Christmas Carols. The youth group sweetly spreads the joy of Christmas through cookies and carols.
The
Spaghetti Supper with its associated Cake Auction raises money for mission trips. This event has become one of the most popular with the congregation, and it’s always a lot of fun. This all-church dinner is held in the winter/spring. The youth plan, prepare, cook, serve, and clean up.
Youth Sunday has the senior high youth filling the sanctuary on a Sunday morning! The youth, in conjunction with a minister and the advisors, plan, write, and lead both Sunday services. The skit used during the Children’s Moment produces much laughter, and the special music brings a distinctly youthful flavor to Sunday worship. The high points of the services are the meditations written and delivered by the youth themselves.
