Project Peanut Butter Update: 

In addition to fun and games, the youth have planted flowers in front of the church, picked up trash, decorated a recycling box for church bulletins, moved furniture and supplies over to set up a new youth classroom in the church building, visited at-home members, made cookies for delivery to some church members recovering from surgery, volunteered at the Warrensburg Senior Center, and participated in various activities that have resulted in raising over $400, enough to care for entire village of malnourished children in Malawi through Project Peanut Butter.  Thanks to Jill Pedersen for spearheading this effort, and to Kirk Pedersen, Charlotte Gaw, Melissa Larimore, Cheryl Bateman, Don & Carole Nimmer for their help, and a special thanks to Gift Dube for coming to speak to FPC youth about Malawi.

Project Peanut Butter Goals:  1) Educate the community on Gift Dube’s countries malnutrition problem; 2) Raise $375.00 to give to a Malawi village to feed all the kids or Raise $15.00 to save the life of one Malawian child.  How you can help:  Place donations in jar in the Fireplace Room.  Plan to come by on Monday, June 15th for the Peanut Butter scrabble.
