30 Hour Famine. This is a national drive for hunger combining youth groups from other churches in Yankton to do a community event. This event is rotated, using different churches every other year. In 2012 the Assembly of God Church will host the event. Carla and Dinae will be in charge of the games/activities. Please contact Diane Kisch to register. This year’s service project will include Kids Against Hunger. The registration fee is $25 to cover the cost of bagging rice. Pledges will be taken for the hours the youth will fast. We ask your prayerful participation for this worthy cause!
 
My office hours will be Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:00 PM.
