🎂 Youth Bake-Off & Cake Auction – This Weekend!🎂

Youth Ministry kicks off this Friday, 9th May, with a Bake-Off where our youth will be decorating cakes!  These cakes will be auctioned off after the church service on Sunday, 11th May, on the hall deck.

Last year, we raised over $1,400 – and this year, we’re aiming to beat that record!

Funds raised will go towards youth resources and our end-of-year break-up party.

There will be 6 amazing cakes up for auction — don’t miss your chance to take one home and support our youth!  Thank you for your wonderful support!

• for Christians who have fallen into sin, like Peter, that they may be restored to service

• for the nations of the world, that the good news may be heard in every land

• for those who are sick, disabled, or elderly, and who must be cared for by others
