Youth News

Junior EYC Check with Junior EYC Coordinators, David and Michelle Parsons, or call the Church Office, for upcoming events.

Senior EYC will begin a new study in February on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m.. NOOMA is a series of short films produced by Flannel promoting spiritual perspectives on individual life experiences. The name NOOMA comes from a phonetic spelling of the Greek word pneuma meaning "wind," "spirit," or "breath." Each film is about 10 to 14 minutes of teaching related to real-life situations. Each short story covers a specific topic--usually by relating various experiences from a Christian perspective.

Check with Senior EYC Coordinator Paul Burgess or call the Church Office for other upcoming events.

Canterbury Program for McNeese Students is under the leadership of Jamie Simon. Free meals for college students on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Canterbury House after the spring semester begins.

If anyone would like to help in a growing and exciting ministry, please call Jamie or the Church Office.
