Artesian area WWTS started the new year by meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 15, at Artesian First Lutheran. The youth assembled 20 school kits for Lutheran World Relief. Items for the kits were purchased from Penny Power monies collected by youth at each 11 a.m. church service since the beginning of January. Gently used baby items and new diapers were also purchased with Penny Power monies and donated to the Plus One Guidance Center in Huron.

Pictured are Averie Johnson, Jenavieve Slavik, McKenzie Uecker, Chayda Johnson, Brody Uecker, Payton Uecker, Ethan Slavik, Brook Johnson, Abby Bechen and Tayla Liedtke.  Averie and Brook are helping out with the youth until confirmation starts in September.
