SPRING 2015 Youth Group Calendar

This semester the focus is on doing things. My hope is that we will expand the ways we think and talk about God, but also expand the ways we experience God through all of life. I hope we might get to know God in a new way, to see God at work in our life, and in our world. I also hope we will have a lot of fun as a youth group this semester. Spiritual Practices are for everyday people to help us nurture that quality of life. Below you will find our outline for Wednesday Night Youth Group, and dates for special events. You can post this on your fridge or locker. See ya soon –Austin

Our mission ‘trip’ this year is going to be right here in our community in J.C.!! Several of our high-school students have gone on mission trip the past few years, but this year our CYF Mission council is taking it coast to coast, finding ways to partner with our community and creating a great service camp for everyone.
