Children, Youth and Family Newsletter JULY 2024

As we head into the Summer months people often think that things "slow down" for Children, Youth and Family Ministry. As the person in charge of this Ministry area, I know that couldn't be further from the truth. While we don't have our regular Sunday mornings for Children's Ministry, the Wednesday evenings for Middle School and Sunday evenings for High School - we still have opportunities for all those age groups throughout the Summer.


See below for all of the opportunities we have to offer in JULY
