the BEST WKND EVER
With Covid this year and some of our restrictions, we knew we were not able to host our 2 spring events Believe and Chi Alpha. So instead, we are creating for our students, the BEST WKND EVER, a student ministry one day conference that will tie in to our Sunday morning service.
On Saturday, March 20th we will open the doors of our church to 2 high energy large group sessions with a guest speaker (Carlos Whittaker), times of worship, we are hosting some breakout session on fun and relevant topics, 2 socially distanced meals, intentional hang outs and plenty of surprises. We will meet that Saturday starting at 9:15 am and rock on till 10:30pm. Students will then go home and Sunday morning we will then attend the Contemporary Services as an extension of our weekend.
MS will attend the 9:00am
HS will attend the 10:45am
It is going to be great, no awesome, no it’s going to be the BEST WKND EVER!
Cost is $30 | includes 2 meals, t-shirt and free time activities
