Middle/High School Youth Happenings for Summer 2009!!

It is what you've been waiting for - a calendar to give you an idea of what's happening @ Lake City Pres for youth grades 6-12 this summer! Finally! This is definitely an outline to be filled in as we go along.

Also "6th grade" refers to anyone completing the fifth grade and heading to sixth in the Fall. Woohoo! So take a peek - a lot of excitement to happen - and connect with Leena to sign up, ask questions or suggest another activity!

Peace, ~Leena Prindle (Director of Faith Formation @ Lake City Presbyterian Church 206.362.6878)
