Fusion Youth Serve Up a Feast
28 youth showed up during our Turkey Supper to help with our 100th annual Turkey Supper. A majority of them took a break to grab a quick photo (see above). We can’t thank you all enough for all your help!
November: We Need EVERYONE’S Help
Youth (and parents): We could use your help for this year’s 100th Turkey Supper. There are several dates/times/jobs to sign up for including:
Sunday, October 30th: Help unloading supplies and set-up after church.
Friday, November 4th: If your child is able to be released from school for community service hours we could put them to work most of the day.
Saturday, November 5th: Set-up/odd jobs during the day/early afternoon. Also, (here is where we need the most help) we need youth servers from 3:30 to 8:30 pm. If you and/or your student can help the entire time, that would be great. Otherwise, consider signing up from 3:30 to 6, or 6:00 to 8:30 pm. Also, a clean-up crew stays from 8 til whenever to help. Community service hours are available.
*Please contact Josh/Neal or the church office to sign up for one, any, or all of these opportunities.
**Parents – even if you aren’t a part of the church – we are also looking for a few people willing to cook turkeys the night before (directions are provided), to bake or provide pies/desserts and deliver them to the church, to donate raffle baskets for our raffle, and more. Ask for more information or details.
