Sr. High Seekers to host IHN dinner!

On Sunday, September 23, Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), our ministry with homeless families here in Rock Hill, will come to Our Saviour. Help plan and prepare a meal for these families by connecting with fellow youth and your youth volunteers. Be here on Sunday at 5:30 pm to help set up, & serve dinner at 6:30 pm. We’ll eat too and have a short gathering afterwards to discuss the experience and other ways that we’d like to serve our community through mission and service opportunities. Please plan to be here from 5:30 – 8 pm if you are assisting with supper. Latecomers are welcome, but we do have a commitment to provide the meal. Contact Will and April Roberts with questions about how you can help: wroberts@chmuseums.org

Hey gang! Sunday, August 19th we had our kick-off youth group gathering. There were 23 Middle School & Sr. High youth who came out for a chance to meet each other, play games, plan some good stuff for the coming year, and have some pizza and laughs to top off the evening.

Thanks to your new teachers for showing up: M3: Andy Castillo, and Sr. High Seekers: Will & April Roberts and Ann Walton & Bryan Townsend.
