Youth Sunday - Beginning in September the first Sunday of the month will be set as Youth Sunday. On that Sunday, as many youth as wish to will serve in the service. After the service, everyone is invited to stay for an activity or lesson. While it will be geared toward our younger members, everyone is invited to attend. Meg will kick things off on September 5. In October, we would like to go to Missouri Town for their fall festival. After that, we would like to invite anyone interested to sign-up to teach one month. Topics can include food, clothing, housing during Jesus time, why church doors are red, Christmas/advent activities, Easter/Lent activities, your favorite Bible story, etc.. Let us know if you would be interested in providing the program some time. Since the first Sunday in September is Labor Day weekend, Youth Sunday will be held on Sept. 12.
