Scuffy Event Coming In March

Greetings senior youth of the North Mission Area! Those who are in 7th – 12th grade currently are invited to the first SCUFFY Lock-in Event for the Organization, Nomination and Voting for a New England Synod North Mission Area Board. SCUFFY stands for Service Community Unite Fun Fellowship Youth. This is the final stop of our “Walking with God” Tour as we consider how we can Unite a Community of Youth to have Fun in Fellowship as we Serve others.

Please come to vote and/or run for a Board Position, to donate shoes to our sister synod in Honduras , to get to know other Lutheran youth from around New England, and to have fun. The cost will be $10 per person. Snacks, Midnight Ice Cream Social, and breakfast will be provided.

There will be a band, guest speaker, and lots of fun activities. Keep checking this site and invitation coming to all churches for more updated information.

SERVICE PROJECT
We are asking you to bring a pair of new or gently used shoes in infant and children’s sizes to donate to our sister synod in Honduras. It would be great if everyone who came had at least one pair. If you would like to involve your church, host a shoe drive before you come to the event.

If you have any questions, contact Angela Bonfiglio at ambonf@comcast.net or on Facebook. See you there!
