Coming Up:

January 25 (Friday)
5th Quarter (Youth Outing):

Youth Group will be attending 5th Quarter, a post-game celebration open to all in grades 6-12, not just athletes or church youth. It is sponsored by the Van Meter Huddle, which is the school's chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. There will be games, music, a guest speaker and free food. Read this week's Grapevine for more details.

February 6, 20 (Wednesdays):
Youth Group - 6:30 PM

Youth grades 7-12 are encouraged to join together here at the church for a time of thoughtful discussion, fellowship, service, and fun. Heidi Myers and Hayley Carlson are leading the group this year with help from Holly Adams and Pastor Linda.

Meetings are generally held the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 PM.

Every Monday, 2:00 PM:
Better Health: Exercise Your Faith

Are you making New Year’s resolutions? Will they last past January? Instead of making a resolution, so easily broken, make a life-style change that will benefit the rest of your life.

The Exercise Your Faith group meets each week for a half hour of light aerobic exercise followed by discussions on living and eating healthy.

Drop in and try us out. Learn more here.
