EASTER BREAKFAST YOUTH FUNDRAISER
The Saturday before Easter Sunday at 10 am the youth meet in the Multi-Purpose Room to setup and decorate for the annual Easter Breakfast. The youth offer breakfast tacos from 7:30am-10:00am on Easter Sunday morning. Proceeds benefit Gethsemane youth activities.
DINNER THEATRE & SILENT AUCTION
Every spring, our youth host a fundraising event that consists of a Dinner Theatre and Silent Auction.
Gethsemane youth perform an original work by our very own creative genius, Lane Holmstrom. The evening includes both a silent and live auction and a delicious meal served by the youth. Proceeds go to support our youth in their summer activities.
SUMMER TRIP
We are on a three year rotation for Sr. High summer trips. One year is a national youth gathering, next is mission/mystery tour and then a high adventure trip.
