Children, Youth and Family Newsletter JUNE 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.

GRADUATION SUNDAY

As we gather to celebrate our graduating High School Seniors, we hear their words, their stories and bless them as they step out on their own. Whether they are heading to colleg e, tech school, directly into the workforce or taking some time to figure things out, we will send them out with the reminder that we, as a Church, will always be there for them. Seniors, let your lights shine so others may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven.
