Sunday, December 15, 2019 6:00pm-8:00pm
You are invited to enjoy homemade soup, sandwiches and desserts with our youth, and afterward you will be treated with an individual reading of the Christmas Story in Luke. Casual conversation is one thing with a teen, but what if your ears could hear the voice of Your Savior through them? PLEASE consider coming to listen while they read Our Savior Story to YOU. Over 80% of our youth do not have a parent attend church with them, or attend church at all. Would you be the one to make a difference in their lives this season?
TASK KIDS – The final TASK Kids of 2019 will be Tuesday, December 17th. Please mark your calendars.
