Those in 9th-12th grade are invited to attend Exploring Church Careers held the same weekend as the Junior High Youth Gathering.
As part of the gathering the youth will be participating in a servant event project. This year we are teaming up with the Minneapolis Children's Hospital. During the gathering the youth will design and decorate pillowcases that will be given to hospital patients as birthday gifts and on other special occasions. We will also be collecting children's books that will be donated to the hospital for the patients to read and enjoy. The hospital is especially looking for books for children ages 1-6. We ask that each youth bring at least one of their favorite children's books to donate to the book drive.
