​During the third week of the month we will offer a special event for youth participation.  These events will range from fellowship and fun to Outreach volunteering. Upcoming events:
  • March 26th: Gather after church to design the t-shirt logo for the May Day of Service.
  • April 9th, children are invited to attend our Easter service at 9:30 am.  Easter Egg hunt after the service.
