Oxymorons

Oxymorons 4th - 6th grade

The Oxymorons are an energetic, lively bunch of 4th to 6th graders at First Congregational Church.  In its third year, the youth group was named by one of its original members.  "We are all one in Christ's family - but we are each unique individuals."    Annually they choose a cause through the Christian Children's Fund and hold their Children's Garage Sale, contributing their outgrown toys, games and books to the sale.  Over the past three years, they have raised well over $3000, giving their profits to school children in Afghanistan, families in Uganda to buy pigs, and to help babies in Sierra Leone with the purchase mosquito netting.  They've gone swimming, sledding, to hot tub parties, and gone out to lunch together.  They've filled Easter baskets for Alaska Children's Services, baked cookies for the homeless, and have built huge Towers of Cans - big cans of fruits and vegetables - to give to Elgin Jones, founder of Kids' Kitchen, on his birthday each year.  They've taken enormous pride in discovering how much they can contribute to the church and the community - and have had a great time doing just that!
