Youth News

A message from Paul Burgess: EYC will be resuming regular Wednesday meeting beginning Wed., August 4 at 6 p.m. in the Parish Hall. We will begin a new book study called The Way to Love.  Each chapter focuses on a particular verse from the Bible and provides readers with a very practical and real way to consider and understand its meaning.  We look forward to seeing any young parishioners and their friends from 6th grade and up.
