Support the Youth Ski Trip - Only $2 Per Mile
 

    T
he Youth Group of First Presbyterian is heading to Colorado during Spring Break, March 21-27. We have 24 youth signed up for the trip, so we had to rent two vans to carry them all.  We could use a little help in keeping them filled with gasoline.
    Please donate to the Spring Break Ski Trip at the oh-so-reasonable $2 per mile. Let us help our youth group to grow and prosper by supporting such wonderful opportunities for fun and fellowship.
