Youth 1 (PreKGrade 1) will gather in the small parlor where we will discuss an age-appropriate Lenten theme with craft and activity time. Youth 2 (Grades 2-5): This group is viewing the film “Joshua”, the story of a caring, loving stranger who comes to a small town and changes the hearts and lives of those around him, in the conference room on the second floor of the Ministries Center. Youth 3 (Grades 6-12): Our youth minister, Marvin McLennon, will lead this group in Lenten-themed study and activity in the Youth Room on the first floor of the Ministries Center.
