30 Hour Famine!

The 30 Hour Famine is a Lock-In style Youth event of fun and fellowship combined with raising awareness of the global hunger crisis. Youth come to the Church on Friday afternoon after school and stay through the night until about 4:30pm on Saturday. There will be tons of games and group activities along with some free time and maybe even some sleeping! We are flexible on scheduling if people need to come late, leave early or leave for a time and come back. After our famine is over, we will break our fast together with a community meal! Youth are encouraged to raise donations to send to the hungry, but they can also just come to learn and have some fun! For more information check out www.30hourfamine.org or contact JJ Mannschreck.
