Sunday School Options for Families:

Tweeners
Last week we did some filming for the Pageant with Tweeners…great job! We started doing a fun mystery solving activity with the Tweeners. If you don’t participate in Tweeners but want to solve the mystery– let me know!
- Every Wednesday 6:00-6:45pm
- Tween Leaders: MiaLisa Millares and Emily Topinka
- Register by Clicking Here
- Parents please make certain that your tween is participating in your presence (ie not locked in a room). We may have tweens break into breakout rooms in groups of three and will not have an adult for each section. According to Safe Church, this is okay so long as youth are in a space where they are all alone and a parent can overhear.
- View the calendar for tentative schedules. Tweens will be creating their own schedule.
Youth Group
We had so much fun playing “Among Us” that we will be playing again this coming week!
- Every Wednesday 7:00-8:00pm
- Youth Leaders: MiaLisa and I am looking for a volunteer!
- Register by Clicking Here
- I will wait to admit teens until 3 youth are present.
- Parents please make certain that your youth is participating in your presence (ie not locked in a room). We may have youth break into breakout rooms in groups of three and will not have an adult for each section.
