Youth group serves up Thanksgiving baskets

After church on Sunday, Cynthia Strouse and I went shopping. She and Cheryl Dimmock had organized everything that had been collected and then made a list of what was needed to complete the bags. We came back and at 3:00 p.m. the kids from our junior/ senior high classes came to put the bags together. We ended up making 25 bags on Sunday and then made up another four and had money for two gift certificates by the time Wednesday night rolled around. It was a great outreach effort by all.

The kids had a good time putting the bags together. Then from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. they helped carry the bags out to the cars of the folks who picked them up.
