Belgian Waffle Fundraiser for Denver Mission Trip, February 25

Join Good Shepherd and other area churches as we fundraise for a youth mission trip to Denver this summer.  The Denver mission trip is planned for July 25 through August 1.  Dad’s Belgian Waffles will serve their famous Belgian waffles and sausages  at St. Ben’s Catholic School from 4-7 pm on Tuesday, February 25th.  The cost is $10 for adults and $6 for kids, with children under 4 being free.  We hope to see you there!
 
The first few days of the mission trip will be spent at  the Lutheran camp, Sky Ranch Colorado,  doing bible camp activities including hiking and a high ropes course.  The rest of the week will be spent in Denver doing service projects such as working at a food bank and other non-profits.  There will be an opportunity to go white-water rafting on the last day.  
 
Youth who are 14 and older are eligible for the trip.
