And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.
Zechariah 8:5
We won’t be playing in the streets, but we will be playing this weekend. Come join us for bowling with Pre-EYC. The details are below. There’s nothing like a little friendly competition and gutter balls to help you get to know one other better.
The other big news in Youth Ministry is our upcoming Murder Mystery Dinner on 3/9. We need you to do 2 things: 1) volunteer to help – both adults and youth, and 2) make a reservation to come and see it. The high school youth do such an amazing job it’s worth it to come see and support them, but it’s also fun trying to figure out who done it. And the food is delicious! Here’s the sign up for helping out – and yes, we need YOU: http://bit.ly/2IoH4KM.
