Family Valentine’s Dessert Night at the Exit Youth Ministry in downtown Auburn was a fundraiser for a mission trip to Las Vegas for 15 youth from Lifegate Auburn Foursquare Church.

There was live music, food and raffles to raise money for the July 19 trip. The cost for each youth will be $500. There will be other fundraisers in the near future. The purpose of the Las Vegas trip is for the youth to do a homeless outreach, visit nursing homes and minister at local skate parks.
