Youth Discipleship Program |
This fall we have started a discipleship group for the youth (12-18). The purpose of the group is to help the youth find their place in God's story. If you know that your youth is considering baptism, this can be an important part of preparing for that. We hope that more of the teens will join in the next couple of weeks! We meet every Sabbath for 20 minutes immediately after the service in the Chapel.
We follow the Truthlink Bible Study material (www.truthlink.org). |
