February 22-23, 2019 30-Hour Famine/Youth Lock-In
The Unga Bunga Youth Group members grew closer to Christ and each other as they fasted together for 30 hours and raised funds to fight hunger. They began their fast at 1:00 p.m. Friday, February 22 and end with a simple supper break at 7:00 p.m. Saturday, February 23. The group also helped prepare a meal for St. John’s Homeless Shelter as a service project during the famine. Money raised during the 30-Hour Famine went to the Pantry.
