Sunday, November 12th is our annual Turkey bowl during our Sunday night youth activities.
For those of you who may not be familiar with the Turkey Bowl, it is a beloved event where youth are separated into teams, given routes of food to collect from church members, and have a photo scavenger hunt along the way. We are currently looking for participants to be “stops” along our collection route! All you need to be eligible is 1) have an address we can visit/ pick up donations from, 2) Be willing to take a picture with the youth volunteers, and 3) have some donations for them to pick up.
This year, we are once again partnering with the Noel Food pantry! Please see our posters for suggested donations.
Are you not able to be a stop, or don’t want youth at your house? Not a problem! We will have collection tubs outside both the sanctuary and river services. Drop them off and we’ll pick them up!
Thank you for all the ways you are already supporting our youth! You can sign up by emailing me at kyle@broadmoorumc.org, signing up on your connect card on Sunday Mornings, OR calling the Church office (318) 861-0586 and speaking to Kyle!
