- Scagenger Hunt Details
  
  If anything has been made clear, helping and serving others is a big deal. We are having a fun and faithful opportunity for our grades 6-12 with a food scavenger hunt. We will gather at the church, divide into teams (yes, you can be with your friends). Along with parent drivers, we will head into the neighborhoods to collect items of need by the food pantry. The items you collect will have point values (yes it is a fun competition). We will head back to the church to divide up and count our items. There will be prizes and an ice cream social afterwards to celebrate. Friends are welcome. We are in need of parent drivers. Sign up is available on our parish website / Youth Ministry.
