Chocolate Covered Eggs Fundraiser: Did you get your chocolate-covered eggs last Sunday? We are selling these eggs to help raise funds for Tyler Trauger and Levi Hoover to participate in South America Mission's internship in Pucallpa, Peru this summer. We are trying to raise $5,000 ($2,002 raised so far!) to help make this possible for them. The eggs are being sold for $10 for 6. Your pre-ordered eggs can be picked up in the kitchen after church. If you want to contribute to this, please designate your Neffsville MC check for "SAM Internship". NEW!
