We are having a retreat for all adult Youth Ministry Leaders this weekend. We'll be going away to the Lake of the Ozarks to recharge and be better equipped to serve families with teenagers at Heartland.
Because of this, WE WILL NOT meet in the Youth Room for Middle School Community this Sunday the 7th of September. We encourage you to sit with your family in the Auditorium. Feel free to stop by the Youth Room and say hello to a couple leaders (who won't be on the retreat).
We'll see YOU at the Kickoff!
