Let’s wrap up this youth year with a big celebration before exams and all the end-of-year excitement begins! We’ll share dinner, reflect on the year with stories and laughter, and send our graduating seniors off with a blessing. This evening is extra special—it’s also the last time Mark and Harry will host before moving out of their home. Let’s show up with big hearts and deep gratitude for the many ways they’ve shared their space and spirit with us over the years.

Created in Love Sunday School Class, 9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings beginning April 27
No Youth Sunday School—We Want You in the Room
Beginning this Sunday, April 27, all youth are invited to be part of Created in Love, a special four-week series exploring gender, sexuality, and Christian faith. We’ll listen to scripture, hear personal stories, and engage in real conversations with our ministers and guest speakers.
We’re not offering separate Sunday School during this series—because we believe your presence matters. Your voice belongs in this space. Come as you are, bring your questions and your wisdom, and let’s grow together in love and understanding.

Youth Breakfast for Spring!
9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings
Youth love food! Help us wake up with a Sunday treat before Sunday School by providing a little motivation and fellowship in the mornings.

Worship Leadership – Opportunities for All – Youth in worship leadership is a great joy! In addition to acolytes, we are adding a new practice to walking in the communion elements and the Bible as visual grounding for the act of worship. Additionally youth are encouraged to take a turn leading prayers and ushering. These are roles needed at every Sunday service so reach out to take a turn! Contact Hannah Duane or Courtney
