events for Tri-Parish Youth
Dear Youth in Christ, As I was driving today I saw 2 robins playing in the trees. It brought hope to my heart that the newness of Spring is not far off. I love the changing of the seasons. It brings a chance to begin anew and shake off the old dust of winter and begin to move in a new direction. You are invited to taste that newness through joining us at youth group as we pray, play, and rejoice in the God who made the rain, snow, sun , and all that brings us life! We will begin the month with our ICYC group meeting on March 2nd at the OMG room at 7:00 p.m. to decorate hats and discuss plans for the upcoming weekend. Please bring $5.00 with you to cover the cost of the hats. On Thursday, March 3rd the God Squad will be heading to ICYC in Boise to prepare to help lead the weekend’s event.
