Pancake Breakfast - Cadets will be working with our Youth Group raising money by serving you a delicious pancake, french toast or egg breakfast on October 18^th in the Goshen Christian Preschool Gymnasium. Please come out and support these two youth ministries. Breakfast is served family style from 7am-10am and the cost is by donation - so bring a friend for good food and better fellowship!
