Hello Falling Spring Family! We hope you’re doing well! One of the beloved traditions in the Youth Ministry is the Generosity Conspiracy, where our goal is to share the joy of Jesus with others! Although it will look different this year, we are looking forward to an awesome event. Our hope is you will watch this video, be inspired, and wish to support one or more of the teams. Those who wish to support teams should contact Brad Hill. From there, he will inform the students an...d ask them to reach out to you. Our hope is that this will create wonderful conversations and connections between young and old in the Falling Spring family! Support can be given in person for those who are comfortable with a visit from a student or two, and it can also be given online (link below). Last day for online donations is Dec. 13, and last day for in-person donations is Dec. 16. Here are some links for more information: Generosity Conspiracy Information and History: https://fallingspringyouth.com/generosityconspiracy/ Online Donation Page: https://bit.ly/37fBzr2 Please contact Brad if you have any questions.
