Fresh breakfast! Once a month the youth are endeavoring to cook a fresh breakfast for all who are interested. We plan to have eggs, freshly milled pancakes, bacon, toast, and more.

"Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle."
