Mystery Trip, January 17-20 (Register by January 1) $300
The best weekend of the whole year is being planned now! Consider this unique opportunity to step out into the unknown and focus on the gift of the journey. A Mystery Trip is the chance to share in community as we brave the surprises of this trip while growing in our faith and as a faith family. In years past we have adventured to handglide over the mountains, zip-lined over alligators, pulled lollipops in a candy kitchen, slept in a cave and more. Only one way to find out what is planned this year. Lean into the adventure and sign up today!
Summer Youth Trips Now Open!
Montreat Youth Conference
Current 8th Grade through Graduating Seniors – June 8-14
We join with hundreds of Presbyterian youth from across the country for a week of deep learning, big community, and making faith real. Each day is a mix of worship, recreation, small group, and back home group conversation. It’s a packed week with big growth and fun as we encounter God and discover a vibrant faith.
Massanetta Middle School Conference
Current 5th Grade through 8th Grade – July 15-18
This favorite conference offers faith-filled, hands-on experiences designed specifically for middle school youth. Fostering a deeper understanding of the broader church, MSMSC brings together youth from the region for a week of keynotes, workshops, small groups, and recreation.
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
Parenting the Teen Years – First Monday of the Month, 7:00 p.m. by Zoom
Don’t read the book! (Or do!) Parents are busy so we have designed a book club to fit your needs. Show up for one of these gatherings throughout the year as we share our parenting wins and woes, practices for faith formation in the home, and raising resilient youth, and grab a book to mark up and look through on your own time. (See email for zoom link)
