High School Activities: Grades 9-12

• Sunday Mornings - High school students attend the worship gathering with their friends and families.
• Monday Night - Young Life: Every Monday night at 7:17pm,

  We meet in kids’ homes from your school and have a party with a purpose. Picture kids with clothes pins on their faces, eating "secret" food from a lunch bag being passed around the group and doing something bizarre with a frozen trout. Crazy dude crazy! Blast and sing tunes from your favorite artist or from dudes you never heard of. Good times!!!

  Than we talk about your "Young Life". You know the stuff: pressures of school, dating, partying, parents, friends and drama. No subject is too weird or personal. How does God fit into all this? Skaters, jocks and dweebs and all groups in between are invited every week. Heck, bring your grandma if you want.. All your High School friends are welcome!!
