Belonging. Believing. Becoming.

A NOTE FROM BOBBY PATTON, DIRECTOR OF YOUTH MINISTRY

Hello Christ Church Family!

This weekend is our big Youth Fundraiser! I am super excited to participate and help generate enthusiasm within the congregation to support our youth and what they’re involved in. I encourage everyone to attend, as we really want the students to have a strong presence on Sunday. Please note that there's no Faith Formation this Sunday morning - we'll be adding our final touches to the Fundraiser and then there's no evening youth activities so we can all enjoy the big game!

The Youth Fundraiser is the last large event taking place within our ministry until Easter, as the church is Called To a Lenten season of simplicity, unity and rest. Everyone is encouraged to invite the Holy Spirit to be present and to be your guide. I am praying that our students will feel Called To something by God during Lent.

Until the next newsletter in March, just a couple of notes. There is no Gaming Night or any other activities for youth on Ash Wednesday next week. They are encouraged to attend the worship service at 6:30 pm. Also, the Confirmation 101 Retreat begins Friday, February 16. We are already praying over that weekend for our students.

If you need anything from me over these next few weeks, please don't hesitate to reach out and connect!

See you Sunday! 

Bobby
