Lenten Coin Collection

The Youth Together are collecting “Coins for Lent.” They invite you to assist them with saving your coins in jars for Easter. Both the Middle School and High School students are participating and are selecting a mission to donate all of the coins to following Easter. They may ask you to help, stop by your SS/Small group, or invite your family to join them. This is part of an initiative of our Great Plains Conference as we lean into Lent together.
