Palm Sunday Pancake Breakfast + Silent Auction
On Sunday, March 24, 2024 we will be hosting our 1st Annual Silent Auction that will take place during our traditional Palm Sunday Pancake Breakfast at St. John’s Lutheran Church. We anticipate approximately 300 guests at this breakfast. All funds raised benefit the St. John’s Mission Trip Fund, which helps alleviate the cost of service trips for youth from the Annandale area. During the summer of 2024, we have 10 (6th-8th grade) youth travelling to Madison, Wisconsin and 23 (7th-12th grade) youth travelling to New Orleans, Louisiana. This is a great opportunity for you to support our youth as they experience life changing + faith strengthening service learning trips.
