Change the World - World Malaria Day

April 23-25 is Change the World weekend. April 22 is Earth Day, and April 25 is World Malaria Day. Malaria is a deadly disease in many countries where sanitary conditions and lack of medical care and vaccines are the norm. We can help! Let's raise enough money to send at least 30 bed nets to Africa (I'm sure we could do more than that). April 24 is World Malaria Day Sleepout. We have a confirmation retreat that weekend, but we may plan a sleep later in May. But for now, break your piggy banks, ask your family and friends to give to this worthy cause! Bring your money this weekend to Crossroads, Sunday School, or youth group or next week to Crossroads or Sunday School. Each bed net costs $10. Let's see how many we can send. Watch this video about Malaria in Africa...

Youth-In-Mission

Congratulations on another successful youth-in-mission auction. We raise $15,600! We will use that to support our ASP trip, Heifer International, and other mission efforts in and around Washington, DC.

Please remember to be at Youth Connection on April 18 from 4-6:30. We will fulfill one of our obligations to auction when we host children from our church for a Wii party! It is important to be there to help!
