Youth Group Returns!
The Kick-off was Sun, Aug 30 with a day of fun at Avondale. The Sunday evening Youth Group gatherings begin Sept 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.
Youth Group:
We are going to do things a little differently this fall to follow the guidelines set forth by Avondale’s reopening task force. Both Middle School and High School will meet at the same time but they will eat and play games separately, allowing for more physical distancing. Also as much as possible, we will locate activities outside. We will adjust as the year goes on.

Playbook for Life
The basketball league Avondale partners with annually, Playbook for Life, has decided at this time to cancel basketball for the 2020-2021 season due to COVID-19. This was a hard decision for the league; however, they feel that the safety of all is of utmost importance and look toward the 2021-2022 season with great hope.
