Summer Youth BreakfastsDuring the month of June, we will be doing breakfasts on Thursday mornings. We are in need of servants who would be willing to host a breakfast at their house at 9:00 AM one Thursday (you don’t have to be a youth parent to be involved!).
During this time we will eat, enjoy fellowship, and hear a devotion from one of our students. Afterward we will serve in a local mission setting or participate in other activities such as going to the park or Fun Expedition. |
