Hello Youth Ministry Families,

Here's all the church news!

NEW SERVICE OPPORTUNITY -- School Supply Collection for Rochester Hope! One of our peer leaders, Julia, is organizing a school supply drive for Rochester Hope. You can bring your donatations to youth group or Confirmation class. Here's a note from Julia:

• "This year, my friends as I are doing a school supplies to benefit students in the City of Rochester. We have partnered with Rochester Hope, a food pantry/charity downtown, who will be accepting all of your donations and will distribute them to the community. Over the next month and a half, you’ll be able to find boxes with our poster on them in the education building at Transfiguration. Feel free to drop off donations during high school youth group, middle school youth group, or at our next confirmation meeting. All donations are appreciated of course, but we were informed that there is a specific need for high school supplies -- binders, notebooks, and backpacks in particular."
