Hi Youth Families,

It is time to register for summer 2027 trips! I have extended the signups until Sunday night at midnight, but I have to make some decisions, reserve spots, and pay deposits next week. Please let me know if you have any questions to help you make a decision. I highly recommend all of the options as great ways to grow in your faith and to connect with members of our youth group. See "Summer Youth Trips" below or click here to read more details about the trips and to get registered in Realm.

This week's activities:

Sunday, October 18: Sunday school 9-10am

October 25: Trunk-or-Treat 4-5pm (Youth run carnival games for younger children); then hotdog supper 5:00-5:30 and youth meeting 5:30-7pm following the hotdog supper.

Friends are welcome at GYG events...just sign up friends by the RSVP deadlines when those apply and bring them along!

Upcoming Events

Sign up to work shifts in the pumpkin patch: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E45A8A82EAAFBC25-65721209-grace

The importance of the Pumpkin Patch: this fundraiser helps us keep our summer trip prices much lower than they would otherwise be. It also allows us to do fun activities throughout the year free or at reduced cost because of the funds raised. And just as importantly, the Pumpkin Patch raises money for Give Kids the World, Isaiah 117 House (foster children), Historic Paradise Foundation, and Thornwell Home for Children. These are great ministries doing Jesus' work.
