Due to the oddity of life right now, and because we can't just get together the way we are used to, I want to create some space each week for the youth to check in virtually via Zoom. Our way of hanging out together but apart. Each week I want to get together for 15-20 minutes to check in, share some stories, have a prayer and/or devotional time together. So talk with your teens and please fill out this survey so we can get a handle for the best time to have our gatherings.
