Summer 2019 Youth Calendar
 

WACKY WEDNESDAYS 2019

This summer we have some awesome trips lined up for the youth to have fun and build community. We will go mountain biking and do the ropes courses at the National Whitewater Center, rollercoasting at Carowinds, and visiting the new TopGolf in Greenville. We have tried to get the best prices for each event. With the exception of Carowinds and NCG, each location requires payment upfront to reserve the date and time. Check the events your student/s would like to attend. Please send the completed form and payment to Elisabeth Hayes at least one week prior to the event. We will need a minimum of six students for each event. Students will need extra money for food, drinks, snacks, etc. For questions, call Elisabeth at 864-586-2151.

Basketball Ministry

The goals for our Advent Basketball Ministry are to provide well-organized opportunities for our youth to participate in sports, an environment for our youth and parents to share fellowship with friends old and new, to develop basketball skills, and to teach Christian values and good sportsmanship.  Young people in grades 1st-12th are eligible to play. As in years past, we’re sure all involved will enjoy these events, as we grow closer as a community in Christ.

Please note that there will be two leagues for the 2018-19 year.
