EXCITING ADVENTURES: WEEK OF NOVEMBER 21-28, 2021
"Our youth ministry programs are designed to support the journeys of our teens in middle school and high school. They are a combination of fun, conversation, service and prayer! All that we ask from our youth is to bring an open and generous heart -- we believe God will do the rest!"
~ Rev. Anne Marie
