The Youth Group:

The Youth Group Volunteers have had 3 very successful outings at the Salvation Army Center of Hope in Charlotte the last 3 Sunday evenings.  They have received great feedback from the Center on the level of participation, compassion, and fun that the team has provided.   This past Sunday we were able to donate clothing to the Center and in the previous two visits have been able to minister to the children through various activities! 

 NO YOUTH EVENT THIS WEEKEND!
