SJ Financial Update

Youth Group News

5th-8th grade youth group

This will be 8th grades last Wednesday night youth group!

Is it tough to believe that the same faith that allowed Moses to part the Red Sea and Elijah call fire from heaven down exists in your heart? Sometimes there are parts of the Bible that can intimidate us into not acting on our faith. We'll get into it Wednesday, 5:30-7:30pm down in the Y outh Room and finishing up in the Gym. See you there!

W.H.A.T. (9th-12th grades)

Just like on sports teams, sometimes the addition or subtraction of just one player can either make or break a team. What sorts of things in life, that seem like faith destroyers, can actually strengthen our faith? We'll play a game from 6:30-7:30pm outside and then get into the Word from 7:30-8:30pm.

Car Wash May 22nd

The youth attending the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans this summer still have funds to raise and we know you still have cars that need to be washed! During church on Sunday morning, May 22nd from 8:00am-12:00pm, park down by the basketball courts and we'll wash as you worship. This is a service of the Y outh Group but we will gladly accept freewill donations. Get those cars dirty and we'll see you May 22nd.

Check out the Youth Page on the website for more youth stuff or contact Matt!
