activities for Tri-Parish Youth
Dear Youth in Christ, The sounds and smells of Spring bring light to our hearts as we anticipate the days of summer and the ending of another school year. We love the greatness that this time of year holds as we spend more time outside with family and friends. God is so good to us, revealing his face at every turn in our lives. During this month of May, let’s join together as a youth group to embrace this gracious God through work, prayer, planning, walking, sharing and celebrating. On May 4 the Steubenville Northwest team heading to Spokane on July 29th will meet at the OMG room at 7:00 to plan summer fundraisers to cover half the cost of the trip.

The end of the school year brings with it the invitation for growth in your faith through gathering in many different ways, whether it is a fundraiser, a time of adoration, planning for mission, sharing food, or meeting to discuss the power of the Holy Spirit in your life.. It’s all opportunity to step forward and fill yourself with positive grace filled experiences. It is here that faith comes alive and God shows up! Happy May everyone. Debbie |
