Baked Potato Fundraiser
This Sunday, April 15th

The Student Ministry will be hosting a Baked Potato meal with all the trimmings on Sunday, April 15th following the Sunday school hour and the late service. You will have your choice of the following items for your baked potato: butter, cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, chili, shredded chicken breast, and pulled pork with bbq sauce. A dessert will also come with your meal. You and your family may eat here at the church in the fellowship hall or if you would like to get your meal to go we will have to go boxes for you. There is no set cost of the meal we simply ask that you make a donation based on what you feel lead to give. All donations will be used to help defer the added cost of camp fees for Falls Creek and for student scholarships. We appreciate and thank you for your support!!!
