Youth Ministry and Retreats

Our youth group does different activities and missions throughout the year.  We have lockins, go miniature golfing, have game nights and play PONG.  In addition, we remember Jesus and the cross by making palm crosses for Palm Sunday and honor the mothers and women of the church on Mother's Day.  For the last several years, we baked Christmas cookies.  This past Christmas we shared our baking talents and said Thank You to our first responders of Lebanon City by delivering cookies to the Lebanon Police Department, Fire Fighters at Station #1 and #2 and First Aid and Safety Patrol.

In the spring and fall, we head to the Poconos for a weekend of fun and learning.  These fun filled retreats involve group discussions, bible lessons and murder mysteries. Retreat activities also include Minute to Win It competitions, small side field trips, and scavenger hunts. They are a great time to have fun, and hang  out with other youth and adults.  The pictures below are just some of our fun moments at Fall Retreat 2019 and baking cookies.  Spring Retreat 2020 was all done virtually therefore no pictures to share.
