  • Christmas Caroling

    Join us on December 22 for Christmas Caroling at a couple of nearby Retirement Homes!

    Meet in the Youth Suite at 2pm. We will rehearse the songs with Mattilda before traveling together to Liberty Ridge and Mayfair Manor. While with the residents we will sing three Christmas Carols before getting to know the residents and learning more about some of their favorite Christmas memories. We will end our time with one more closing Christmas Carol. 

    This is an intergenerational event that you're not going to want to miss.  Please let us know if you're going to be able to make it so that we can be sure we have transportation provided!

Learn about our programming

  • Join us for Sunday School in the Youth Suite at 9:00am! Grab a donut from upstairs, and come on down! This program is for both Middle and High School.

    Inspired by the scripture from 3 John 2, "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul," we will take the time to check in with each other; socially, emotionally, physically and mentally, before studying spiritually, the Scriptures appointed for each Sunday.
