If your trusty-but-dusty car needs a good wash this week, the youth group at Hope Lutheran Church wants to help you cross that off your list while supporting their upcoming travels.

 

As shared with us by Hope Lutheran youth pastor Jonathan Kopecky, the group will host a free car wash (although onsite donations are welcome) on Thursday (June 26^th) from noon-5 pm in the parking lot just north of 41st and Oregon (east of the church), and anyone in the community is invited to bring their vehicle in for a wash.

 

Group members have also been collecting pledges from friends and family, with donations dependent on how many cars they can wash on Thursday, so they’re looking to wash as many cars as possible.

 

All proceeds will go toward the group’s travel expenses for their upcoming July trip to New Orleans for the “Endure” LCMS National Youth Gathering. 

 

Want to donate to the group’s efforts, but can’t make it on Thursday? You can donate online here.

 

Here’s some more info about the gathering, from Kopecky:

 

“Every three years, 20,000 high schoolers from around the U.S. descend on one city for an epic event: The National Youth Gathering. Together the youth are encouraged and unified in their faith through inspirational speakers, service projects, and thrilling fun. This year we are heading to New Orleans and would love your help financially. If you’d like to donate directly to our fundraiser please follow the link, or if you’d like to participate in our free car wash to help our youth get pledges, please come on by!”
