The Starkdale youth group began a ministry in 2005 they called Pennies for a Purpose. They sang songs, sold candy canes, pumpkins and chocolate kisses, placed donation containers at each entry door to the sanctuary and did moments for mission on Sunday mornings. This was their way of collecting pennies, which we all know add up. They also accepted nickels, dimes, quarters and of course paper money, too. To their surprise, their persistence paid off. They raised $2500.00 this year allowing them the opportunity to help more families than in past years. The money was used by our teens to provide a wonderful Christmas to many families with children in our community who normally would not have had one. As you can see from the pictures, they had a great time shopping.
