Show Your Love to Our Youth
Visit the tree in the narthex
| |
|
Choose a heart from the tree. Each heart has a suggested donation amount, but any amount is welcome! You do not need to return the heart. | |
|
Take an envelope from the basket by the tree. | |
|
Inside the envelope, you will find a prayer card as a reminder to pray for our youth. You keep this card. Complete the donation card and return it in the envelope with your donation. | |
|
Place your completed envelope in the box next to the tree or the offering plate, or bring it to the administrative office. | |
Thank you for your support of our youth! All proceeds benefit them as they raise funds to attend the 2025 LCMS National Youth Gathering. | |
