News You Can Use - June 30, 2011 |

Youth News
Who are those hard working kids? Starting this Sunday, you will see the youth of Steel Lake busily working to serve our church and community. The preparation for the Annual Rummage Sale and Vacation Bible School is about to get underway, and the youth will once again play an important role in these two events. The youth will be unloading cars and trucks as treasures are brought to the gym each drop off night. Then during the sale, you will see lots of enthusiasm, and possibly dance moves, on Pacific Highway as we are out promoting the Rummage Sale. Please wave as you go by to check things out!
After the first weekend of the Rummage Sale, you will find the youth volunteering at VBS. They will be class helpers, recreation assistants, music helpers, and leaders of the Bible lessons. The younger kids of our congregation and community enjoy interacting with the older kids, and truly look up to them as role models. SLPC youth provide such a wonderful example of young people living their lives for Christ.
Of course, once VBS is completed, the youth will be back for the second weekend of the Rummage Sale. It takes a lot of energy and dedication to be part of such big events at SLPC. We are truly blessed to have a group of young adults so willing to serve.
