7 & 8 Grade Youth Group
I am looking for a parent to chair the 7th & 8th grade youth group for this year, as I am unable to continue on as chair. I am happy to help as much as needed to transition whom ever is willing to take on this role, as well as help out in youth group areas throughout the school year. Being involved in this group for the last 2 years has been a very rewarding experience, as it's wonderful to see our kids develop into vibrant spiritual teens! I have organized details of past events, etc. to pass on. If you are interested in possibly taking on this role, please email me at chuckybrenda@verizon.com or phone 823-5670. Thank you! Brenda Barto
