Brownsville church sells Christmas Trees to raise money for youth

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. — The youth of First United Methodist church in Brownsville were selling live Christmas trees this weekend.

The group is selling six to seven foot Fraser Firs to raise money for youth programs. According to the youth leaders, this is the only place to get a live tree in the city of Brownsville.

Each tree cost $50.

“Our youth group is live and active and we have a lot of fun,” youth leader Emily Carpenter said. “We take them a lot of places and do a lot of fun activities with them and this just helps offset the cost for our youth.”

The youth will be back outside the church selling trees Saturday, December 3rd  from 8am until they sell out.
