Youth Camp Fundraiser: Smoked Boston Butts


About this Event

This is the only time of the year that the word 'butt' is totally appropriate for church.
Your Refuge Youth Ministry students are going to summer camp and they need your help!

Our Smoked BBQ Pre-sale begins on April 7th. Use the sign up sheet in the foyer to reserve your smoked boston butt. This makes a meal for you and your family on a Sunday Afternoon... then Sunday night... then Monday night... then Tuesday night. It’s a lot of pork!

Butts are $50/ea and pickup will be on May 19th here at JOY, directly after our morning service. Thank you for your support!

The deadline to reserve your bbq is Sunday May 12th.

Contact Josh Carpenter with any questions.

Counselors are our greatest need each year. These incredible individuals experience the week side-by-side with their Camper while providing unconditional love and care for all of their needs during the week.

Barnstormers
Age:13-14
Barnstormers have a servant’s heart and a great work ethic. They keep the camp in tip-top shape by serving food and tidying up during the week. Barnstormers enjoy building relationships with their bunkmates and creating lasting memories. Depending on the camp need, a barnstormer may be asked to move up to a counselor position.

Hey 6th-12th grade students, we’re going to Winter Jam! This is one of the best concerts of the year. For how much? 60? 80? 100? No! Try $15! Go clean your mom’s car and make your ticket money.

We will be leaving Joy on Saturday February 10th at 1pm.

The show starts at 6pm and has gone as long as 10pm in the past.

We may not arrive back home until 12:30 or 1am. It’s a long day but so worth it! Sign up in the youth room.
