Hi parents, We are very quickly wrapping up student ministry for 2021. Here are a couple of things to take note of: This Sunday, December 5th we will have a student ministry Christmas party. We'll play games as a large group and then split up in our small groups for a white elephant gift exchange. Please send your student with a $5 gift so that they can participate in the fun. Dressing in festive attire is encouraged!  Schedule amendment! We will not have Big Group on December 8th. We decided that it made more sense to wrap up the year with our big Christmas party on the 5th- we'll be directing our energy and students towards the party instead of spreading ourselves thin. With that being said, this Wednesday, December 1, is our final Big Group for the year; 7-8pm! Hayes

We want to invite you to an interest meeting for our Confirmation class that we will be holding in the Spring. Confirmation is open to all students in 8th grade and above, and is a great step for students to dig deeper into their faith. This year, Confirmation will include a series of 6 classes held at the 10 am hour and conclude with students being confirmed by our Bishop, Terrell Glenn, on Sunday, May 1st. If you think your student might be interested in participating in Confirmation next Spring, come to our interest meeting on December 5th at 10 am in room 208 to find out more! In the mean time, let us know if you have any questions for us!

Booyah Brrr is a winter retreat at Watermarks Camp in Scottsville, VA. This retreat is open for students 6th-12th grade. Hayes and I have been incredibly impressed with how this camp engages students from all grades. The weekend will include, fun, games and of course some spiritual content. Because this weekend is MLK weekend, we'll leave Friday night and return on Monday- a great opportunity to spend a little extra time away! Cost is just $199 (and we do have scholarships available upon requests). Registration is open until December 1st or until full, so don't wait to register!
