MSF Thanksgiving Dinner The Wednesday a week before Thanksgiving Middle School Fellowship celebrates with a family feast. With the help of many dedicated parents we eat turkey, homemade mashed potatoes, and other delicious things. It has become a tradition and one we really enjoy!

We start with a house for appetizers. Our second stop is for the main meal. Our third and final stop is for dessert and where we open presents!

Youth Sunday Mark your calendars now for April 20, 2008! This Sunday is very special in the life of our congregation. Don’t miss an opportunity to be a part of this very special service of worship by assisting in worship, singing, or preaching.

Senior Farewell (6/1/08) This is a night when we celebrate our high school graduates! Come see old pictures and slides, hear funny stories, and share memories of the senior class. Parents are also welcome for this special event!

Service Projects Part of being the church is serving other people in need. We do a variety of service projects during the year including the CROP walk, serving at the Crisis Ministry and Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. In January, the Confirmation Class spends Martin Luther King Day in Trenton serving and learning at a variety of service organizations.

Mission Trips Mission Trips are in incredible way to encounter God and to do service. The past few years our mission trips have taken us to Toronto, Canada, South Carolina and to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to help with hurricane relief. We have done rural and urban service projects giving us a variety of experience.

Montreat Each summer Montreat, a PCUSA Conference center, has six youth conferences with over 1000 high school kids at each conference. The conferences are an amazing place for you to encounter the presence of God and meet lots of new people. At a Montreat Youth Conference you will find small groups, worship, recreation, music and many new friends.
