Attention Parents:

Dear Parents:

Your involvement and support of the Youth Ministry at the Fonda Reformed Church is very important. We can always use help, new ideas, support, and volunteers for our events.

Can you help in some way? We would love to hear from you!

This year we are looking for parents to commit to our Summer Mission Trip. We are looking at working locally with “Lifesaver Ministries” This is an organization in Gloversville that assists unwed teen mothers and their children. We are hoping to help by doing construction on a building they have recently purchased for their important ministry. Please contact us if you might be able to help or commit to this week long project.

We also want to say a heartfelt Thank You to Laura Burroughs who will be stepping down from the youth group this spring. Laura has faithfully served as a youth group leader for the past 6 years. She has given up a week every summer to go on our mission trips, has prepared countless meals and snacks for our group, and has led us in looking into our walk with God. We thank God for you Laura and for your help and leadership while you have given of yourself to serve God in this way. Please say a special thank you to Laura as she moves into other areas of ministry in her life.

Sincerely,

The Youth Group Leaders
