Hi Friends,

The time is finally here...the first SNL back of the semester! I am beyond excited to meet all of you and learn all about you and your hopes and dreams for All Saints Youth. We will play some games, enjoy some get-to-know you activities, and have some time just to chat and get to know each other a little bit better. I know this has been such a tough season for everyone, with Covid, life adjustments, virtual everything, and so on. However, something that is providing hope is the return to church and youth group. I hope you will all join me this Sunday, whether you have been coming consistently or you've taken a little bit of time off. It is going to be a wonderful time of regathering and connection and I just can't wait to meet you all!
 
Peace,
Hope

Happening is a renewal weekend intended for high schoolers. Adults attend as chaperones, but teenagers lead the weekend for teenagers. Really, teenagers lead the entire weekend.
