Youth Ministry

Youth Groups (back in action January 18, 2009!)

Middle School Youth Group and High School Youth Group meet from 6:45-8pm on Sunday evenings.  Middle school students meet in the library before heading to the Magruder House and high school students meet downstairs in the Gibson Room.  All are welcome to bring $5 and come to dinner beforehand in Meade Hall (at 6:15pm).

Retreats, hiking and biking trips, lock-ins, small groups, and service projects have been known to happen throughout the year. We are all about fellowship, community, and discovering more of how known, loved, forgiven, and freed we are by, in, and through Jesus.  Check the bulletin board in the church or the link below for details of upcoming events.

  • "Of the Father's Love Begotten"

    He is found in human fashion, Death and sorrow here to know, That the race of Adam's children Doomed by law to endless woe, May not henceforth die and perish In the dreadful gulf below, Evermore and evermore! O that birth forever blessed, When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Savior of our race; And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face, Evermore and evermore!

The Word

When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)

The Prayer

O God, you make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only Son Jesus Christ: Grant that we, who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold him when he comes to be our Judge; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 212)
