From the Director of Youth Activities, Niki Baringer

My prayer for this season is that it brings opportunities for us to gather together as friends and family in Christ as we continue working to welcome youth and families into our church home.  I am excited to be planning fun and meaningful activities that help build those connections and create lasting memories together.  As always, if you ever have thoughts, ideas, or suggestions for youth and family activities, please feel free to reach out.  Your encouragement, support, and ideas are always appreciated as we continue building opportunities for connection, faith, and community together.

Games, Grub & Grace II – Water Works!…Join us on Friday, June 12, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm for an evening filled with good food, water games, rock painting, laughter, and time spent together enjoying the blessings God has given us.  We hope you will come make memories, share fellowship, and celebrate the joy of community with us this summer!  Please help spread the word about this event and bring friends, neighbors, and family with you!

Games, Grub & Grace III – Campfire Night!…Be sure to mark your calendars for Friday, July 31, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm for our final summer youth and family event, Games, Grub & Grace III – Campfire Night.  Join us for an evening of food, fellowship, games, laughter, and campfire fun as we celebrate a wonderful summer together.

Christmas Play…Looking ahead to fall, our youth will begin rehearsals in September for “What’s in Your Cart?”—a Christmas play centered on the true meaning of Christmas.  The play will be presented during the contemporary worship service in December, and we are excited to see our youth share this meaningful message with the congregation.
