YOUTH CLASS
Join us every Sunday morning during the 10:30am service for
interactive bible studies and fun. This is a safe place to discuss

we all have about God, the Bible and our world.
Everyone in Grade 6 and up is encouraged to attend.
We meet up in the Loft (Room 6) after Children’s Time.
FRIDAY NIGHT YOUTH GROUP
