August 15, we will be starting back up with Sunday Nights. It will look a little different than what it used to but I am excited for moving forward with Sunday Nights again. It will be 6-8pm. If it is a holiday weekend or there is an event that evening then we will not be having our normally scheduled Youth Group as the youth will be encouraged to attend the event.
Sunday Night has been traditionally for 6th-12th grade in our church but we have decided to extend that down to 5th grade for now.

Modeling your faith is important not just when they are children but as teens as well. I want this ministry to focus on the whole family as often as possible.
