Youth News from the McPhersons
We had a great turn out this month for some very worthy causes!
We began with a total of 14 youth who helped Mrs. Earp with the
annual TPC Easter Egg Hunt on the first Wednesday in April. If I can
promise you anything, it is that these 14 kids enjoyed helping
Mrs. Earp, as the little ones enjoyed finding their eggs and goodies.
We ended with a quick meeting to plan our first Youth Day at
Matheson Park, which will be a hot dog dinner for youth in several
local churches including First Baptist Church, First United Methodist,
Reformation Lutheran and St. Luke Lutheran
on May 12 beginning at 4 PM.
On April 21st, we had eight youth to attend our bowling fundraiser for
this summer’s mission trip. We did have a ringer, but some of us had a
slight lack of talent without our gutters.
All in all, it was a lot of fun and a successful fundraiser.
Thanks to all who participated and provided transportation.
We will also be placing an order for new youth group t-shirts soon. The
McPherson’s have an order form if you are interested in ordering one.
They will be ordered in men’s sizes, in lime green with black lettering
on the front and back.

“He has showed you... what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
