VAC Family

Hey Guys,
It's getting close to the Holiday season and we have adopted a family to supply household needs for this year. You can buy one of these items or you can donate money. If you are donating money, just give it to Josh or Liz and the shopping can be done for you. The items needed by our family are pots and pans, towels, silverware, glasses, dishes, twin sheet set, king sheet set, and bed pillows. Let Josh or Liz know what you are planning on getting, so there are no duplicates. It's so awesome to supply these things for this family, and make their Christmas that much better!!

Youth Service Day

Saturday was an awesome day. We met at church at 1, and broke off in groups to go rake leaves. Leaf raking was a success with all of the leaves that had fallen. We got a ton of bags for the leaf diving competition. After meeting back at church around 4, we headed to the Price's for fun and food. There are some awesome pictures, so be sure to check out the slide show. Thanks to everyone who helped make it all work out!!

Leaf Raking

Hey guys,
Saturday is our service day, and we are going to be raking leaves for people in our community who need a little help. We will be meeting at the church at 1:00, so make sure you eat lunch before you come. AFter splitting into groups, we will go to different yards and try to get as many leaves as we can for the leaf diving competition later that afternoon. We will have the leaf diving competition and dinner and games at the Price's house after leaf raking. If anyone has rakes, please bring them so we are sure to have enough for everyone.

Thanks for everyone who went, and making this a fun event!!
