CYM “Sweep the Creek” Event

CYM “Sweep the Creek” Event

We are thrilled to share the success of our recent Cooperative Youth Ministry (CYM) “Sweep the Creek” event in which nearly a dozen enthusiastic youth from CCC and Pack 275 came together to clean up Long Branch Creek near Rolling Terrace Elementary School.

This was a wonderful opportunity for our youth to demonstrate their commitment to caring for God’s creation and being good stewards of the earth.

Interesting Finds:

  • An rental e-scooter
  • An FBI polo shirt
  • A pillow
  • An upholstered reclining chair
  • Eight disposable lighters
  • One baby shoe
  • One iPhone
  • 20 bags of recycling
  • 12 bags of trash
Can you spot the CCC member?

Despite the hard work, everyone had a fantastic time, and we are happy to report that no one caught poison ivy.  Their efforts not only helped clean up the creek but also served as a powerful reminder of the importance of taking care of the world God has entrusted to us.

Thank you to all the participants and supporters who made this event possible. Let’s continue to work together to protect and preserve our beautiful planet!

Yours in the Spirit,

 

The CYM Team
