The youth group will be taking orders for T-shirts as a fund raiser for the mission trip to Puerto Rico. The T-shirts feature the church logo on the front chest, the church website on the sleeve, and a tree with the church mission statement incorporated into the branches to signify growth within our faith, and our efforts to branch out in to the world and spread the word of God.
