It’s time for the February Food Challenge. Our Church Family, in conjunction with its youth, will be collecting different items each week. This will be a friendly competition with our neighboring churches to see who can collect the most items. Who will be the winner, we already know… OASIS and those families that OASIS supports. OASIS has experienced a 17% increase in the number of families they support. Please help the youth rise to the challenge of meeting this increased need. The items collected each week are listed below:
Week One Week Two
Instant Potatoes Toilet Paper (4 Pack)
Canned Tuna Breakfast Cereal
Fruit Juice Rice
Canned Fruit Deodorant
Week Three Week Four
Fruit Juice Pancake Mix
Jelly/Jam Syrup
Macaroni & Cheese Soap (Bar, 3 Pack)

YOUTH INFORMATION – We’ll order tickets for the Young Christians’ Weekend (3/30 – 4/1) by February 17 to get the best prices, but tickets can be ordered after that date too. Youth or adult chaperones interested in going can contact Shari for more information.
Youth group meetings during February will be after worship, when we’ll count OASIS Food Challenge donations, have lunch together, and then deliver to OASIS.
