Red Envelope Fundraiser
Our student ministries are having a red envelope fundraiser to raise money for a nine square in the air game for the church, kids, community, et al. Sentence not make much sense? Red Envelope Fundraiser: Pick an envelope from the wall in the foyer, fill it with the amount of money on the front, and return it in the offering or online. Nine Square in the Air Game: It is a combination of volleyball and nine square. Picture a tic tac toe board seven feet in the air.
