WONDER JAM

Tickets have been bought for Wonder Jam on June 25th. We have a NEW departure time. It's 10:30am leaving from Highview. Be here 10 minutes early (10:15am). Departure from Canada's Wonderland is after the concerts. Students will call their parents and/or whoever they have arranged a ride with when we get closer to Kitchener. Please contact Ian with any questions. Thanks!

Good Times

God has been doing some amazing things in the lives of some new students. We have just recently had a few new students sign our "promises" that we use to keep our sense of community together as a youth group. It's awesome when that happens because it is a reflection of the fact that they care about what is happening in the youth ministry and feel they really belong.

Good times

Please see GET READY HERE MAY COMES! for all the details in May


SANCTUARY: Shannon Blake came and shared this past Tuesday about Sanctuary and all that God is doing in their church to meet the needs of the poor. We had an amazing time of worship, drama, and a great birthday cake for Starr.

PITCH: Pitch N Praise is 14 days away. It's going to be great. It's not too late to invite a friend. Contact Ian for details
