The Jr. high youth group is hosting another Babysitting for Benefit! You can come and drop off children at PMC at 5:30 p.m. and the Jr. High youth group will watch them until 8:30 p.m. We will supply a snack, fun activities, a craft, and a story.

You get a night out... and maybe you donate a little something. The Jr High kids do something cool with the money and the world gets a little better. Pretty cool right?

Please bring: a supper item for your child (no peanuts or nut products), pajamas & blanket for story time.

Signups will start NOW! Email Melissa Burton or sign up on Sunday!  Space is limited! If you have any questions, contact Melissa Burton  or a Jr. Higher.
