Youth News Grades 3 to 12

Souper Bowl Sunday: This is held the same day as the Super Bowl in churches across the nation. Our youth will be collecting donations in soup pots on Super Bowl Sunday, February 5. Our donation will go to the Christian Service Center here in Lake City. Remember those who are hungry while while making your plans for the game. Thank you.

Parents, please note the different times for youth meeting. During Lent, youth will meet at 9 am each Sunday in the Parish Hall. There is also an adult Sunday School class during this time in the conference room that parents are welcome to attend. Grades 3 through 12 will have an opening together and then break up for discussion of the lesson. Curt will lead the middle/high youth and Buddy will lead the elementary youth.

Rather than giving something up for Lent, we urge our youth to take on something new -make a commitment to attend at 9 am. If transportation is an issue, please call the office and let us know and we'll work something out.
