🌟 Help Us Bless Our Youth Campers! 🌟

Our students are getting ready for youth camp, and we need your help with a special surprise!

We're asking our church family and friends to write a short encouragement card, note, favorite Bible verse, prayer, or words of wisdom for our campers (We have four going!). These cards will be given to them before camp as a reminder that they are loved, supported, and covered in prayer by their church family.

💌 Cards can be dropped off at church by Sunday, either to Olivia or Taylor, or there will be a collection box in the lobby starting tomorrow.

🎉 YOUTH ATTENDING CAMP: Make sure you're at church this Sunday or Wednesday June 10th. We have something special for you!

🤫 And if you're one of our campers and happened to see this post... no, you didn't. Keep scrolling. Nothing to see here. Absolutely no surprises are being planned. We repeat: this post does not exist. 😎

Thank you for helping us encourage and invest in the next generation. Your words may be exactly what a young person needs to hear.

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing" – 1 Thessalonians 5:11 ❤️✨

If you have any questions - contact Olivia or message our page!

☀️ June is here, and we have an exciting month planned for Youth!

From Youth Leading Youth, where our students step up to share lessons and grow in their faith, to our action-packed Youth Group Olympics 🏆, there are so many opportunities to connect, have fun, and grow closer to God together.

We’re also looking forward to our Kids & Family Night, sending our youth to Teen and Children’s Camp at Black Hills, and our Ice Cream & Outdoor Night 🍦🌳—an evening filled with sweet treats, outdoor games, fellowship, and summer fun!

To wrap up the month, we’ll celebrate an incredible milestone with our Youth Group 1-Year Celebration Picnic! 🎉 What an amazing year it has been, and we can’t wait to celebrate all God has done.

Whether you’re a regular attendee or have been thinking about checking us out, June is a great time to join us. Invite a friend and come be part of what God is doing!

📅 Check out the June calendar below and mark your calendars!

📅 Note that church clean up day has been cancelled!
