What you need to know!



The Wave Youth are taking over BOTH Sunday morning services on this day! All youth who want to participate will have an opportunity to serve as part of both services such as speaking, reading, greeting and ushering.

November 9th - YOUTH SUNDAY!

Youth "dig" deep on the Volleyball court!

We recently had the opportunity to go see some of our epic Wave Youth play their final 2 games of the season. Emerson, Emma and Izzy all play for their school team, Redeemer Lutheran. They have been growing into their volleyball skills exceptionally well over the past few years and it was AMAZING to see them playing on the same court, working as a team and boosting each other in the good times and the bad. It was particularly special for Ryan to see the entire starting squad of 8th graders play who are either former 5th grade students of his or are currently members of this Youth Group. We are confident that if all our volleyball players from The Wave Youth formed a church squad then that would be a hard team to beat! Well done girls and keep "serving" up success on and off the court!

Emma steps forward to execute a pristine serve into the opponents court.

Emerson rises up to return a volley with a tactful spike. Look at those hops!?

Pumpkin Carving Competition

It has become a tradition to host a team Pumpkin Carving Competition each year with the Youth. It was equal parts messy, creative and a fun time :)
