Youth Connection

Youth Connection is divided into Middle and High School groups.  On a typical Sunday during the school year, both groups will meet at the Congregation House from 5 - 7 p.m., hang out in the youth lounge, eat dinner together and then divide for separate programs.

Youth enjoy five different types of programs, which rotate from week to week.

They may also sign-up to participate in special interest small groups which meet for 6-8 weeks in the fall and spring.
