Youth Christmas Party @ Pastor Britt's

Help Needed with the Christmas Pageant!

Do you feel called to help herd sheep?

Youth volunteers are needed to help make sure the Christmas Pageant and rehearsals go smoothly. Responsibilities include: making sure everyone is in costume, walking small children to the bathroom so they don't get lost, helping the kids recognize their cues to move, etc.

All youth will help with the pageant on Dec. 11 during the Sunday School hour. If you are interested in also helping with the dress rehearsal on Dec. 10 from 10 - noon, please email Kelsey.

Register for the March Youth Retreat

All youth in grades 7-12 are invited to a winter retreat at Wesley Woods Retreat Center in Williams Bay, WI on Lake Geneva on March 25-26.

Get excited for great friends, great food, archery, small group discussions, and more!

A deposit of $50 is required to secure your spot on the trip. For more details and registration, click HERE.

Let Your Voice Be Heard

We realize that many youth are not available on Wednesday nights for youth group. Please fill out THIS SURVEY to indicate a time that would work better as well as your youth's interest in participating.

Clothing Drive a Huge Success

We were able to deliver a large trunk full of winter clothes to ESCCA! Thanks to all those who donated clothes! Thank you to the youth for making signs and raising awareness! You all helped make a difference.

No Youth Group on Nov. 23

Happy Thanksgiving!

See you on Nov. 30 in the kitchen from 6-7 p.m.
