So much planned!

Being a disciple of Christ means a lot of things. For starters, it means learning about Jesus and growing closer to Him, practicing your faith and serving others. We've got opportunities coming up that will allow you to do all of those things!

Here's what we've got planned  for the next few months - (mark your calendars, set your sights on Christ!)

Learning - finding out more what it means to be a disciple!

Food for Thought! every Sunday at 11:00 in the Youth Room

Winter Retreat! Friday January 24-Sunday, January 26 at Michindoh. We will be a part of their teen retreat weekend. (Cost $105)

Practicing - doing stuff! Youth group on the 2nd and 4th Sunday evenings from 6:30-8:00. This is not just a time for fellowship, but also a time where we can be doing some service for others, and sharing our faith.  Sunday nights are perfect times to bring friends!
