The United Methodist Youth Service Fund (YSF) is more than just a drive for funds. It is a call for United Methodist Youth to become active lay members. It is one way in which youth can respond to the mission of our church and more importantly to the call of our Lord to care for His sheep. Why do we give? We give because Jesus Christ gave himself fully, for all.  Holston has been among the top giving Annual Conferences for years. Year after year the youth of Holston have been successful in meeting their goal and awarding thousands of grant dollars to agencies that benefit youth. With your help, we believe we can exceed our goal of $33,000 in 2002. Your youth group can become involved by sponsoring a fundraiser between now and the end of the year or by making a contribution from their treasury. Fundraising ideas are available through the Conference Youth Ministry office or at www.holstonyouth.com. Checks should be made payable to Youth Service Fund and mailed to: Holston Conference Office of Administrative Services, P.O. Box 2506. Johnson City, TN 37605.   

In His Service,
The Youth Service Fund of the Holston Conference Council on Youth Ministry
