30 Hour Famine

Hello! I wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming event the youth will be participating in this weekend. They are preparing for their 30-hours of fasting for world hunger. This is a huge task they will be undertaking. I encourage everyone to remember them in your thoughts and prayers. Below are some events that will be taking place during those 30 hours:

Youth will meet at the church at 4:30am Saturday morning for a trip to IHOP. The 30 hours will begin at 6am Saturday, July 29th. The fast will end Sunday, July 30th at noon. During the hours of 10am-12noon on Saturday, the youth will be hosting a "Long-Drive" out behind St. Mark's United Methodist Church. Bring your own equipment. Cost to participate is $3.00 per ball (you may purchase as many as you like). First, second and third place prizes will be scrumptous cakes baked by some of the ladies of FBC. YUMMY!! All proceeds will go to the 30 hour famine for world hunger.

I am proud of our youth for taking on this important task. I am sure as time draws closer to this event, the more nervous they become. All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. You are sure to blessed!

Please remember to keep them in your prayers and let them know how proud we are of them for being a part of this! Take care and hope to see you Sunday!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
