MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sunday, Christmas Day – 2016

Sunday School – No. We are having ONE SERVICE at 10 AM.

2017 Winter/Spring Calendar

January brings new changes, as well as a new calendar for the youth.  Please check the Youth News Rack in the Narthex in January for the new 2017 winter/spring calendar of events!  And as always – the information about how to subscribe to the “Remind 101” messaging tool is on the bottom of the rack (green for Jr. High and purple for Sr. High info.)  Text/Email alerts are sent out once or twice a week to remind students about events or changes to events.  Also a weekly scripture/encouraging word is sent to students (and parents who are subscribers).

Come out to Youth Group to start learning our “exciting entry” for Youth Led Church Service. Plans are coming together.  Watch for more details.  Some of our youth are already working on some things.  Do you have an idea?  I’ll always take suggestions.  I heard one last Sunday that I’m going to try to implement!  I’m always open to LISTENING to new ideas!  We’ll need greeters, ushers, singers and more!  Stay tuned!
