Exciting Start to the Fall Season

This fall season got off to an exciting start as many of our youth programs started back up for the new school year. On Sunday, August 30, we had around 35 teens come for our PYC youth group for grades 6-12. The youth had a great time, and we're looking forward to some outstanding events this fall, including a sleepover in October and a retreat at Crestfield in November. My hope is that during this coming year we will see the group grow to about 100 young people, gathering on a regular basis for prayer, Bible study, service projects, and fellowship.

This past Wednesday was rather awesome as about 75 kids in kindergarten through grade 6 came for the first day of Youth Club. All the kids seemed to have a great time with the music, Bible story, games, dinner, and Celebration Time. Right now the kids are preparing a special song to sing in Sunday worship on September 20, which will be our first Youth Club Sunday of the school year.

Please pray for the children of our area - and their families. And please pray for our church as we seek to share the good news of Jesus through our youth ministries.
