30 Hour Famine is November 15^th  – 16^th , from 6 PM on Friday - 7 PM on Saturday. We will meet in the Youth Center. 

Each teen needs to sign a GPYM release form and release form for Bridge of Grace. Both forms are on the 30 Hour Famine table in the youth center and online.

Download the Bridge of Grace release form which needs to be printed, filled out, and turned in upon arrival for the 30 Hour Famine weekend. (Please note that some sections on the form are listed as required and other sections do not need to be filled out)

Teens start fasting after lunch on Friday, November 15^th. 

Teens can pick up fundraising information in the Youth Center at our 30 Hour Famine table by the stage. At the table, there is a quick start guide on fundraising and a donation envelope that teens can use to collect and mark in person donations. Teens can also sign up for a 30 Hour Famine personal web page. The web page allows people to donate online to the teens for 30 hour famine through the page itself or through a link provided by 30 Hour Famine.

The youth group will also be matching the first $30 that each teen raises in support. For example, if a teen raises $30, they will actually raise $60 for children in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Absolutely, you can give either by giving the money to your teen in person or online or by donating online to our group page.
