Aiden Tacker, Olivia Lesinski, Luke Melicharek, Steven Hanson, Jackson Lesinski and Paige Tacker, members of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church's youth group, spent the last week of July in St. Louis, Mo. While there, they did some sightseeing and visited the St. Louis Zoo, Union Station, City Museum and the Gateway Arch. They also spent two days doing community service at different locations, including Great Circle, St. Patrick's Center and the YMCA.
