cool t-shirts:  cost is $10, order one today! 

who:   youth who have finished 6th through 12th grades are invited — and feel welcomed to bring a friend.  we’d love you to come to everything we’ve planned for the week, but come to whatever you can...

our theme for youth week is:  extreme makeover, soul edition.  you’ve heard of home makeovers, and body makeovers, and style makeovers…  now it’s time to look inside and see where we need updates or renovations to our souls!  we’ll focus some on our personal spiritual lives and on our collective spiritual life as a group.   we all get so busy with our hectic schedules during the school year, that it’ll be a nice break to relax from that a bit and concentrate on re-charging ourselves. 

 july 11 — sunday   
togas.  sundaes.  worship.
• 6 to 9 pm — free to worship!      $5
meet at the church for an intro to youth week, cool worship with some college students, and then a game of “underground church”.  since the romans wore togas and they had to meet in catacombs to worship, you need to wear togas too.  if it’s too hard for you, bring a sheet and we’ll help you work it out!  bring $5 for snack supper and cool summer sundaes!
