Midwinter Youth Fundraise Pennies for Harvey Relief

The Coastal Bend and El Valle United Methodist Districts sponsored the 2018 “Stepp’n Up For Christ” Midwinter at Zephyr Encampment on January 26-28, 2018.
 
The weekend included Worship, Small Groups, Bible Study, Games, and Workshops and hearing about how they would reach out in the name of Christ.  
 
Charlotte Murray, the speaker on this weekend guided the youth on how they could “Step Up for Christ” in their schools, their youth group, church, and family.  
 
One game during the weekend showed how when we work together great things happen.  
 
With a total of 209 youth and adults who were in attendance throughout the weekend, and through a game called “penny wars,” where pennies count, the youth raised $381.50 for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.
