Now is the time to register for summer activities!
Check out the Camp Gideon schedule, review the Youth Ministry options and let's pray and plan to give kids meaningful memories this summer.
Please keep in mind that we will be needing teen volunteers to help with the Children's Ministry Program during Yearly Meeting. More details will be coming in the next few weeks. If you have teens who have a heart for children, save the Yearly Meeting dates (July 19-22) for them to volunteer.
