Invite your friends!! We are open for the Youth Group to bring friends from outside the church. (Masks are still required.)
Lesson series: “Paul’s Books to the Church”
We will look to Paul’s writings to the church and how they apply to students’ lives as they live out their faith in today’s world. I look forward to what we will learn together.
Important information: If we have to cancel an in person Youth Group even for a week or an extended amount of time, we will have a google meets meeting instead.
Junior High and Senior High: 3:30pm
This would give time to share our week with each other and share in a lesson as well.
Matt will email or text out a google meets invitation for all students to be able to join.
