2018 Overview

AUGUST – Served in the soup kitchen at St. Paul UMC in Tiffin two different days.

Recycled Youth helped at the soup kitchen

OCTOBER– We hosted the “Trunk or Treat” party. This is a hit every year. It was a potluck style meal in the fellowship hall. It was held at the same time as the H.O.O. campfire on Sat. Oct 20th.

Fun at Trunk or Treat

NOV – We participated in Project Feed again this year. This year the date was Sat. Nov 10, the cost is $5 with a canned food item for their food pantry. The youth stopped for a bite to eat afterwards.

Jeffery showed his muscles that day!

Bible Quiz also began in Nov and Janice is our amazing coach. We need a few more youth on our team!

Lane had to put his “thinking cap” on!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD – Of course, we love to partner with the ladies in UMW to pack shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse. It’s fun to buy for underprivileged children and share the gospel at the same time.

More boxes packed than last year!

2017

Feb 23-24th  30 hr. Famine – Recycled Youth

We partnered with Pietist Church to have a fun weekend while focusing on world hunger. Everyone ate their normal lunch on Friday but then we fasted until 6pm Saturday. We stayed overnight at the Pietist church with sleeping bag and pillows! We finished with a spaghetti dinner together and discussed our emotions that we experienced from the experience.

March 11-17th – Haiti Mission Trip –

Luke, Renea, Peg, Angie, and Becky traveled to Haiti to visit one of our missionaries that the church supports, Andris and Mary Jane Jolibois at the Living Hope Ministries school. While there we helped at the school during Vacation Bible School teaching and making crafts. We also observed and visited with culinary class, sewing class, business class, and welding classes. Check out Living Hope Ministries web page:  http://www.livinghopehaiti.org. If you are interested in sponsoring a student in their school it only costs about $1.00/day. It helps provide a full meal, textbooks, and supplies. Please contact us if you want more information or if you would like us to share our pictures and details about our trip at your church or organization. http://www.becky.weisenauer@gmail.com
