Youth
Join us every Sunday night at 6pm in the cellar for fun and Bible study! (Grades 6-12) We use this time to get closer together and closer to God! We are a thriving group of middle and high school students that spend time together worshiping, fellowshiping, disciplining, and ministering to each other and the world we live in. We pursue Christ as best as we know how and only wish to serve our King! We have many opportunities for you to get involved and we hope you come join us!
Greetings Grace Church!
Thank you for attending and supporting the 9th annual Sweetheart Dinner! Our youth raised a little over $500 toward our summer project: a mission trip to Virginia Beach, VA with an organization named TEAMeffort, June 7th-13th. TEAMeffort runs their mission trip programs in summer camp style, hosting about 115 people from multiple churches per week over the course of 8 weeks during June, July, and August, in 12 cities (in 2020) simultaneously. They have been serving in the Virginia Beach, VA and Blue Knob, PA, our alternate mission site, for more than 10 years. Service activities on the trip can include general home repairs, painting, building decks and wheelchair ramps, and roofing. They stress that the relationships being developed with the locals are more important than the labor being performed. We are working on putting together several additional fundraisers for the project. The next church-based fundraiser (vs community based) will be on a Sunday near the end of April, please watch the weekly bulletin for more details. Also, as winter fades many of you will have yard work and other spring-cleaning needs that you may be thinking about outsourcing. The youth would appreciate the opportunity to serve you, as well as any financial donation you may wish to make toward the mission trip. I am in the process of setting a date for our second Safe Sanctuaries training of 2020. I know of 3 men that are interested in attending this next session. If anyone else is interested in becoming certified, or needs to be re-certified to prevent their certification from lapsing, please contact me early in March. For those that have already attended the training in January, please complete the at home video-based training portion as soon as possible. If you are not able to do so at home, please let me know and we can set you up to view it at the church. There is a progress sheet posted outside my office if you want to know where you are within the process.
Spring is near!

Prayer point for March: Please pray for our summer mission trip, that hearts would be prepared both in us and in those we will serve and meet along the way, that God would grant me favor in planning the logistical aspects of the trip, that the funds will be made available, for safety in all aspects during the trip, and that Jesus would be made known through the service of our youth.
