We have reserved a week for us at Mission on the Bay in Bay St. Louis, MS for next summer’s mission trip for all students finishing 8th-12th grade. (We traveled there last summer too!)
The next step is fundraising. The trip will cost approximately $12,000. We can have up to 30 people come on the trip. If your child is interested in participating, please attend the fundraising meeting after worship on Sunday, November 9. Both youth and parents are asked to come to the meeting. I would like all families to help organize at least one fundraising event (not including Bratfest). What I envision is a team of families taking on one fundraiser and seeing it through from start to finish. At our meeting, we need to decide on what those fundraisers will be and when we will have them. Some ideas the youth had were a book sale, pizza sale, Sub sandwich sale on Super Bowl Sunday, some kind of game night.
PLEASE COME WITH YOUR IDEAS AND CALENDARS TO THE NOVEMBER 9 MEETING.
If you have questions, please contact Tammy Martens at tmartens@orucc.org or 271-7212.
