Bridging and Blessing

Our annual service celebrating the growth and development of the children and young adults in our community. We’ll celebrate transitions in the lives of our young people- from the youngest who are ready to shift from the nursery to RE classes through those graduating from High School.

If you have a graduating senior please contact Ginger Yoder to let us know if they would like to officially bridge. We can give some more information about what that looks like and means in the life of the church if needed!
