WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Frogs consists of youth in grades 6-8. We meet every Wednesday during the school year (except through Lent) immediately following Confirmation class.
We begin our evening by enjoying a meal and conversation together. After that, we have a life-application Bible Study. This is a great time for youth to understand "how does this apply to me and my life?"
We are currently working on some mission projects including a food drive, cards and crafts for shut ins, and letters to our Compassion child.
We end our time together with a few games and a group prayer. Youth group is a lot of fun and a great opportunity for youth to hang out with fellow Christians in a safe environment!
Attention!
We are still participating in Rent-A-Youth Fund Raisers. If you are available this summer to help with some yard crews, etc, please contact Jamie! These funds help with events like Lifest, Power of One, Camp, Retreats, etc.
Keep watching for updates on Confirmation, Family Nights (creative name tba), FROGs, Water Parties, Game Nights, etc!

LIFEST
I find it an extreme challenge to describe to people the amazement that is LIFEST without simply bringing them along. To make a long and thoughtful description short and simple:
Lifest is a 5 day concert experience that involves over 100 musical talents and guest speakers. We camp right on site at the Sunnyview Expo Center in Oshkosh, WI.
This is more than a 5 day concert experience, though. This is a life experience. This is God in the real world; in everyday people- some who are just like us, and some who are very different- all of whom are there to celebrate and lift up Jesus. It's amazing. See for yourself.

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity."
