A Lenten Challenge = Seven youth who attended the Lenten Lock-in have accepted a challenge to do= something wonderful during Lent. This challenge is based on the Para= ble of the Talents. Each youth was given $20. They are to use that money in= combination with their own unique God-given talents to better God’s = world. During our brainstorming time, one youth wanted to make a quilt to b= e given away, another suggested buying a tree or flowers to plant at t= he church, and another wanted to do something to help animals. If you have = other ideas or opportunities that someone could help with, please contact a= youth or Linda Clarkson (503-640-5564) Also, if there are any youth who co= uld not be at the lock-in but would like to participate in this challenge, = please contact Linda Clarkson. As a community of faith, we are all called t= o encourage, assist, and pray for our youth as they put their faith, talent= , and resources into action. Thanks for your help! |
