From Ginger’s Desk…
July has been a wonderful month of travel and conferences for our youth. The Middle School youth attended the Massanetta Conference in Harrisburg, VA. Our theme for the week was 180° and focused on Romans 12:2 which says, “Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind.” Later in the month, the High School youth attended the Montreat Conference in Montreat, NC, and focused on the them “In these Waters.” For fun in the sun, both groups enjoyed a trip to Wet ‘n Wild water park at the end of the month. 

As summer draws to a close, the The Summer Seven youth program also winds down. It’s been a great time of fellowship and fun, and learning while we traveled and worked.   Our regular Sunday Night Youth Fellowship will begin on Sunday, September 12. Watch for more information about out fall kickoff!  If you are a parent or interested adult who would be willing to help with the kick-off, please contact Ginger Jablonski to volunteer.
