Ministry activities for November
Dear Youth in Christ, As one season turns into another we reflect upon the blessings both past and present. It is a time to be grateful for all that God has given us. Our response is important; therefore you are invited to join us during this special time as our youth group gathers to focus on being thankful through prayer, work, learning, socials, and service.
