Thank you, Mount Olivet community, for your generosity and support of Mount Olivet Youth! Your support of the March pancake breakfast, the May plant sale, and YouthStock, helped students and adult leaders raise over $11,000 to support the Service Learning trip to Denver, Colorado this summer (July 11-18).
As a first this year, ALL 100 envelopes for YouthStock were claimed, and students were able to exceed their fundraising goal! Thank you for your joyful commitment to support young people in a tangible way!
When the Faith Formation Co-Op Team listened to MO youth and adults talk about significant influences on their faith, youth trips were named repeatedly by both youth and adults. This sacred time away from the routines of daily life and in community with their peers and trusted adults has a lifelong impact. Students visit new places, learn as they serve alongside community organizations, and deepen relationships with God and each other.
Transportation costs have drastically increased over the past five years, and your generosity makes these impactful trips affordable for students, adult leaders and their families.
Thank you, Mount Olivet community, for investing in the faith of our young people! Please keep students and their leaders in your prayers as they prepare for the Service Learning Trip, as they travel, and as they learn and grow together.
Come and pray for them as we commission their trip during Dinner Church on Wednesday, July 8. And welcome students and leaders back from Colorado and hear their stories on Sunday, July 26 for a Gathered as One Sunday (10am) followed by brunch.
