Youth Helpers Needed For Palm Sunday Breakfast

Sunday, March 28th, is the Annual Youth Palm Sunday Breakfast and we need YOU to help make it a success. Come Saturday, March 27th, at 10:00 am to the Fellowship Hall to help set-up for the breakfast on Sunday. The 7th, 8th, and 9th graders help serve before the service from 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th graders and high school students help serve after the service.

This is an easy way to earn service electives, help the church, have a lot of fun and with everybody’s contribution help make this a successful fundraiser. All of the money that is raised goes directly back into youth programs here at OSLC. Don’t forget to invite your friends, family and neighbors for breakfast. We serve from 8:00-9:00 a.m. and 10:00-11:30 a.m. If you have any questions please contact Jessica Zinniel or the Family and Youth Team.
