Youth Kick-off!
Sun, Aug 30 at 11:30 AM to 2 PM at Avondale
Starting Sept 13
Youth will meet Sundays 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.
