The youth group schedule is still TBD. Our one date we are sure of is Wednesday, September 30. Otherwise, we hope to test out some times in earlier September so that we can best determine the rest of the schedule based on student availability. We will be communicating directly with our high school students and their parents regarding an early September meeting date.
Thank you for your patience as we on-board a new and wonderful CYF Coordinator.
