			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We just got word from our partners at Freedom For Youth about an event they&#8217;re having. If you&#8217;re interested in joining in, here are the details:</p>
<blockquote><p>I wanted to let you all know about the Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, January 23 rd, 9am-11am in the Worship Center at Freedom for Youth.  As some of you already know, we tried to have a spaghetti dinner last week, but due to the winter weather, we had to cancel (seems like we’ve been doing a lot of that this winter!).  It is $5 per person – bring your family and friends if you can make it!  This breakfast is to raise money for the teen’s weekend Winter Retreat, January 15 th-18TH.</p></blockquote>
