Youth News
The youth worked hard on their Mission Trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. On the way to Lancaster, they stopped at Lake Gaston Retreat Center and helped to get the center ready for the summer season by cleaning and doing landscaping projects. After working hard, they had fun time in the lake. In Lancaster they stayed in a Mennonite family’s home and learned about the Mennonite and Amish customs. For their service project, the youth painted a Mennonite meeting hall. It was a very enlightening experience for everyone.
