What (Grades 6-7):  11a-12p in Room 204 (over the COTS Café). We're in Week 2 (NEVER too late to jump in) of Shake It Up. Christmas is fantastic with so much activity and great traditions. Does Jesus have to be separate from all the hoopla, or can He be the source of the joy behind all of it? 
 

   What (Grade 8):  9:30a-12p. Meet in the Great Hall lobby for a field trip! Dress to be outside for about 30 mins. Pick up at the Great Hall entrance. Details were emailed to Explore parents. Explore Parents: Our next gathering is Jan 8, 11a-12p in Room 100 for some more great conversation.
 

   What (Grades 9-12):  11a-12p in Sr Youth Room 207 (over the parlor). Where does our joy come from during the Christmas season? What if Jesus was at the core of it?
