A special thanks on behalf of the members, leaders Debbie Welleff, Fred and Fay Elines, to residents of Cookstown, who helped the Youth Group collect food for the local Food Bank on Friday, April 29th. The boys and girls went door to door collecting, leaving their donation bags if people were not at home.

The Group will come around on April 27th to pick up any more donations, or come to church to bring it there. The Youth Group, ranging from 7 - 14 years of age, meet every Friday at the church hall from 7 - 8.30 pm. They have fun with games, watch movies, do crafts and make new friends.
