As summer draws to a close and the new school year beckons, we look ahead to our own autumn season, beginning with the blessing of the backpacks, the start-up on confirmation classes and opportunities to hear about the amazing youth trip to Detroit! Here’s a calendar of what’s coming up!

Youth are invited to a Friday evening bowling event on Sept 18, at 7:00 pm. Another event at a date to be determined will feature a screening of the movie, “Godspell”.

Thank you to Lisa Hagen for directing them in rehearsal!
