We look forward to the voice of our youth to lead us all in worship and the sharing of their gifts.

This week we’re writing and assigning leadership so be sure to be there!

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
$350, $100 deposit due May 1
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)
