Creative Ways to Celebrate Y.S.F.
1. Youth - collect offerings in work clothes: hard hats, work shirts, painter pants, nqil aprons, etc. 2. Collect contributions in innovative ways (not just via the offering plate): work boots, nail aprons, buckets, work gloves, wheelbarrows (empty and clean!), paint cans. tool boxes... 3. A meaningful quote to use: "If the mission of the church is to bring compassion and justice into a broken world, and if we the church, who have this very specific mission, do not respond, then who do we expect to respond?" 4. Did you know that The Youth of the Western Pennsylvania Conference raised the most money for YSF giving in the Northeastern Jurisdiction in 2004!!! YAHOO!!! 5. Use the YSF logo (dove with YSF lettering) on the bulletin cover. Access it at http://www.umyouth.org and find out its interpretation and creator. REMEMBER: Celebrate and Continue YSF!!
