A child shall lead them...

I want to take some time to celebrate the ways that our children and youth are leading the way in creative fundraising for Feed My Starving Children. There are lots of exciting things going on, from the amazing multi-congregational choir concert last Sunday to the Outreach-sponsored soup supper last week, to the strawberry festival planned for June 16.


But our children and youth really "take the cake" for their creativity and enthusiasm! The first of several cake raffles raised $77, and the children's lemonade stand after worship raised $182. Then, Gigi and Clare Weislogel set up a stand on their block to sell more lemonade, and they raised $35 themselves!



Sophie and Cesca Bosworth-Viscuso raised several hundred dollars through pledges for their commitment to practice their violins every day.

And this Friday night, our Youth Group will join with other youth in the community to host a pasta supper at St. John's Episcopal Church from 5-7pm. Click here for more information.

So let the children and youth lead you...what can YOU do to support our fundraising and organizing efforts for Feed My Starving Children? Check out this great video by a 17-year-old who was inspired by his participation in Feed My Starving Children.

And have a wonderful week!
