Parent Meetings: Instead of hosting parent meetings this Spring, we decided to have the parent meeting following the Training Camp Sunday meal. It is very important that parents read and respond promptly to this letter, as it will include important information like the Training Camp meal sign up and dates for potential outreaches. Here is the meal sign up sheet. Please sign up by March 3. If a member is 18 or older, they may participate in the session independently from their parents by following our Older Member Policy on the website.

All families of current members are invited to come for supper and bring a dish to share. After supper, we will have a short wrap up time, after which you and your youth are free to go.
