Once more, we are going to serve others “right in our
own backyard”. Our mission trip will again take us to
Lakewood Township where cleanup efforts are still
woefully inadequate. Sandy had a terrible impact on
that area and we want to do something about it. The
only thing is that it costs money to help others. Just
like last year, each youth needs $289 just to get to
Lakewood. That doesn’t include any spending money
– just the mission trip cost. So please help us pay for
our trip by supporting our fundraisers. We really
appreciate all our church family does for us. We
realize we wouldn’t be able to make such a difference
if it wasn’t for you. Thanks.

In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
