The youth of Episcopal Church of the Ascension have made it their mission this year to raise funds for a pilgrimage to Europe during the summer of 2012.

The youth group hopes to accomplish their goal through several methods including a community-wide garage sale scheduled for this Saturday.

Last year, the same youth worked to fund a mission trip to Pagosa Springs, Colorado called "Constructing Christ's Kingdom" where they helped build homes for Habitat for Humanity.

Household items, furniture, clothing and miscellaneous treasures will all be available for purchase.

After 2:00 p.m. all items will be marked down to half-price.

"We are so blessed to have the opportunity to travel to Europe on this pilgrimage," said Stephanie Van Kirk, youth minister for the Episcopal Church of the Ascension.

"Our youth are very dedicated to achieving this goal on their own and have worked diligently to collect items for the garage sale."

"We would love to see the community come out and find a treasure of their own while supporting our youth."
