We also need people to serve meals at midnight and in the morning.

YOUTH QUAKE/ZONE FOOD DONATIONS. It is that time of year again when the youth are getting geared up to head to the Dells for the Quake/Zone for a weekend of worship, speakers, dancing, fun and Jesus! We need your help to keep costs down for this event. If you are able to donate food for the weekend, please sign up on our donation list on the kiosk. Put any donated items in the donation box or refrigerator by Wednesday, March 7. Thanks for your suppport!
SUGAR CREEK SUMMER PREVIEW! Attention students in grades 3rd through 5th. Can't wait to go to camp this summer? Then come a few months early for a summer preview the weekend of April 21 - 22. We will meet at Bethany at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, and will return around 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 22. The cost is $40, which covers food and housing. Sign up on the Youth Bulletin Board by April 1.
KLEIN RANCH SERVICE TRIP. This summer students in grades 9 - 12 are invited to head to Klein Ranch in South Dakota! The trip is planned for July 13 - 21. Klein Ranch is an amazing working ranch camp that has horses, calves, lambs, rabbits, pigs and goats! You will get the chance to ride everyday around the rolling hills of the Standing Rock Reservation, take care of the animals, hike in the mini-badlands and worship in an old stone Native American Church. This trip won't be all about horses. On our way to Klein, we will be spending a day doing service work in Pierre, South Dakota where flood waters overtook much of the area this past summer. More information will be available on what we will be doing as we get closer to the date. If you want to join us on this trip, please turn in a $100 non-refundable deposit as soon as possible! For more information about Klein check out their website at http://www.losd.org/klein/!
