On Saturday evening, Feb. 24 the S.S. Gigantic set sail in our church Fellowship Hall and what a great fellowship event it was!! The Empty Nester Group had fun collaborating with the Sr. High Youth and their families and ended up with a great dinner, theater show and a very successful fundraiser. The evening’s events–including dinner, the theater show S.S. Gigantic, and basket raffle–the groups raised $2364 to help send our Sr. Youth to Houston for the Triannual ELCA Youth Gathering this summer. This was just one of several fundraising events to help defer costs involved to send 19 of our youth and adults to the Gathering June 27-July 1, 2018.
There are many to thank starting with Thrivent who offset our costs with $500, as well as, many individuals who gave their time, talent and funds to support the event. So, thank you, thank you, thank you to so many people that made this event so successful. Thanks to Martha and her great cast for a wonderful play…it was a lot of fun. Thank you to our musicians, to the ticket staff, to Chuck for taking pictures, to Laurie and Ron for taking care of the bar, to all of our servers, to Mary, Steve, and Nancy for taking care of the kitchen….serving up the food and washing all the dishes. Thank you to Jennifer for the Playbill, to Ginger and Chris for the yummy dessert, to Judy for putting the raffle baskets together as well as all those that contributed, to John M. for microphones and also videotaping, to Dennis for handling the finances, to Ginger for the costumes, to Diane for decorations and to Pastor Mitch for taking care of the prayer as well as some other coordination that needed to happen. Thank you to all who stayed and helped clean up and put the church back in order and for all that may not be mentioned because everyone’s efforts were truly appreciated. We could not have set sail and accomplished such a wonderful evening without everyone pitching in. View the play, S.S. Gigantic with the Good Sam Players, in it’s entirety.
We wish the youth a wonderful and faith-filled trip to Houston.
