All youth, grades 6-12, are invited to come to community bagel time at 10:30 a.m. in the Bumpus Room on the second floor of the Gratz Center. (We'll have gluten free eats too.) Then at 11:00 a.m. all of the groups will kick off: Junior High (grades 6 and 7) on the fourth floor, Confirmation (eighth grade) on the fifth floor, and Senior High (grades 9-12) in Bumpus. All are welcome! Of course, youth who are in choir will gather at 10:00 a.m. in Room 4F.
Try to Dunk Shelley (and Rocky) at the Kickoff Picnic
Following youth groups, there will be a kickoff picnic in the courtyard, complete with picnic food, snack kit assembly for the Chicago Lights Social Service Center, and a dunk tank.
Several people will take a turn in the dunk tank, but Shelley and Rocky are competing to see who enjoys being dunked the most!
