EFCA Teen 2 Teen
Come join other teens as we look into the year ahead of us. We will be playing games, having snacks, and discussing what we would like to do together as a teen group for the remainder of the year. Come see your old friends and make some new friends as well.
Please let me remind you that you must either email or call to register for the teen group going forward. This is a new rule that the church is enforcing for safety purposes they must know who is going to attend. To register your teen ages 12 to 16 please email or call Crystal Frost at crystal@okautism-ofca.com
please give your teens first and last name and age. This must be done at each meeting.

We encourage you all to speak to your kids about "Our Amazing Kids" portion of the meetings. This is a great way to break down barriers of speaking in front of others, sharing experiences, and participation. If your kid is interested please contact Crystal Frost at crystal@okautism-ofca.com.
