Spring 2019 Youth Ministry Schedule

Sanctuary is off to a great start this semester with a really interesting new message series called Good vs. Evil.  Students are talking about awareness of the supernatural world and the forces of good and evil.

It takes your partnership to make this ministry possible.  The greatest predictor of a student's faith in Christ in adulthood is how much and how often they see the trusted adults around them live that faith out in meaningful, life-changing ways.  Please encourage your children and the other youth you can influence to engage the Christian faith in daily life. Sanctuary is one great way that we work with our kids to promote that faith development!

We've got a lot of fun and solid discipleship going on at Sanctuary.  We're starting to look ahead to Confirmation for our 8th graders, high school graduation recognitions, and other major milestones.  Here's a quick rundown of the schedule for all of our planned youth ministry events through the end of the school year.  If you've got any questions, text or call me at 308-999-9027.

Peace,
