Youth Lock-In
We'll meet at church and take the van (time to be determined). We'll go to a small local farm and see their new farm babies, do some fishing in their lake, take the paddle boat out, and enjoy some hot dogs on the grill under the pavilion. In the evening we will head back to church for some games and movie night. After breakfast we'll attend the early service together.
Looking for additional Chaperones, Mom / Dad you want to come too?
Exact details to follow, save the date Sept 7 - 8.
