curiosity, while developing language skills and number concepts.

others are woven into daily activities. Attendance options

The
focus of the youth class is to set our sights on what it means

is Jesus Christ. From the Tent of Meeting to the Gather Round
curricula, the goal is to bring relevance to who God is and
what God wants from us. Fall 2009 - Youth class - "Exile & Restoration in the Old Testament" with themes like "God's people go through hard times."
