Join us for Sunday School in the Youth Suite at 9:00am! Grab a donut from upstairs, and come on down! This program is for both Middle and High School.
Inspired by the scripture from 3 John 2, "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul," we will take the time to check in with each other; socially, emotionally, physically and mentally, before studying spiritually, the Scriptures appointed for each Sunday.
