YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR CHURCH-RELATED EVENTS The Jane Kulkulka Memorial Scholarship fund welcomes donations in any amount and is used to help children of our members attend ELCA and UCC sponsored events. You may donate in honor of or in memory of a particular person, or to the glory of God. Please place your donation and information in an envelope and place this in the Sunday School mailbox. Having this fund allows us to help families with financial needs send their youth to special events. In the past, this fund enabled us to support one of our youth who went to Germany with the Northeastern PA Synod and one of our youth who went to South Africa with the Lancaster Seminar Leadership Now group.
**CLICK HERE for the Annual Youth Permission Form. This form will be used for any and all church- sponsored activities and events that your child may be involved with at Huff's. This means no more filling out a permission form over and over again throughout the year! Once Huff's has this form on file, it will be for the entire current year. If you would ever like to revoke permission, just contact the church office. Please complete the form and return it to the church office. These forms are also hanging on the Sunday School bulletin board located in the hallway near the Sunday School rooms.
