Spring Break 2025
It is hard to believe, but we are halfway through the spring semester, and Craven County Schools begins spring break this Friday. This means we will not have a CENTyouth meeting for the next two Sundays. We will also not have the Midweek Middle School Hangout next Wednesday, March 26. Our next CENTyouth Meeting will be Sunday, April 6.
I hope your families have a restful and fun spring break!
- Pastor Tyler
