The youth room is getting a makeover!!!!  

Please help us make this a sacred space for our youth.   We are looking for CASH donations in any amount to purchase things such as paint, slip covers, lighting, furniture, rugs, shelving, decorations, etc.  

Top 5 reasons to Donate CASH to the Youth Room Fund:

#5. The  youth room is not the place to store your 1970's couch. If you don't like it anymore, chances are they won't either. 
#4. The kalidescope effect from using too many different colors of paint from half used gallons makes kids hyper!
#3. The cost of a couch slip cover $50. Having a cool youth room to hang out in PRICELESS. 
#2. This isn't the youth room of days gone by.  
And the #1 reason to donate CASH towards the youth room makeover is:

A youth room is a sacred space in which youth

-study the bible,
-encounter God,
-do ministry
-can find a safe haven
-form lasting relationships,
-bring their friends to
-eat lots of junk food in, 
-and finally EXIT as they become disciples of Jesus.
