ONLINE YOUTH GROUP WEEK 10 - MINISTRY RECAP

The school year is coming to an end, and so is our student ministry calendar. While we hadn't planned for what's happening, we were able to add 4 additional weeks to our school calendar, bringing us into May. 

It was a sweet end to a crazy season. While no one planned or expected to be doing virtual youth ministry, we have found this season to still be a good one, with plenty of God-moments scattered throughout. Like I told my students, it was still a really good year!
