Seasonal
October Bonfire
The youth go to a special house and place for a time of bonfire, weenie and marshmallow roast, and games and fellowship.
Christmas Lock-In
On the Friday before Christmas, the youth have a lock-in which includes going out to eat, going to a movie, playing life size Nintendo games, a Christmas white elephant gift exchange, and plenty of junk food and chatter. The only thing missing is sleep! Parents drop off the youth at 6:00 pm and pick up at 7:00 am.
Retreats
Youth usually go on at least one and sometimes two seasonal retreats a year. These retreats vary from Back to School Retreats to Ski Trips or Winter Choir Festivals. All the retreats are for youth in the 6th through 12th grade and feature a Bible theme and lots of fun!
Youth Sunday
The youth plan and lead a Sunday Morning worship service in the spring, with their own musical interpretation, scripture reading, and worship leading.
