Youth Leaders: Matthew & Jenny Voth
Middle School Youth Group: Students come early to Wednesday night meals and then walk four blocks to the Community Building by 6 p.m. for games, group activities and a lesson. We will finish at 7 p.m. Bring a friend! Right now we are learning about how Christians have a different worldview than everyone else. We will be doing activities and discussing different topics that help us see how we look at the world.
High School Bible Study
9th - 12th grade students meet weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Nelson home, 1542 Trail West. Come as early as 7 p.m. to fellowship! We are beginning a study of Wild At Heart for guys and Captivating for girls. We will spend a portion of our meeting talking about these books and God's Word about his purpose for men and women. We will still spend some of our time as a large group in Bible Study and time in prayer for one another.
Son Night Sunday nights!
This semester, Son Night focuses on making deposits in your Personal Bank Account -- not money, but investments in your character and future. Topics will include writing a mission statement, creating a resume, how to bounce back when bad things happen, cause and effect and many more. Son Night is for Middle and High School youth and meets on Sunday evenings at the church from 6-8 p.m. during the school year. |
