Investing in
our Youth
Statistics
and interviews show that this current generation of young people is more
detached from the adult in their lives than any generation that has gone

to be a role model and friend to our 7th & 8th
graders as a confirmation guide? Talk
with Mark or Pastor Dave about this opportunity.
