Here is a quick summary of what we have to offer:
Our programs
The GYG (Grace Youth Gathering) is church reinvented; an accepting and exciting environment for 7th through 12th grade students to come together to explore deeper questions about life. We have awesome music every week with interactive speakers addressing topics relevant to teenagers. We meet almost every Sunday morning throughout the school year in the cafeteria at Saxe. Our 2011-2012 theme is Walk the Walk and we will be spending the whole year going through the men and women listed in Hebrew 11, known as the “Hall of Fame of Faith.” We’ll simply be asking the question, “How do we live out faith in our daily lives?”
The Midweek GYG meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00pm for all ages, 6th-12th at Grace Farms. The Midweek GYG is a combination of hanging out and interactive large group discussions and small groups. (Check the calendar as Middle School meets every other Wednesday in combination with Wyldlife meetings.)
