Introduction to After-School & Captive Free Team
This was an early release day that worked great for introducing Grace's After-School program and to involve and introduce the Captive Free Team that will be back at Grace in April and at the Quake April 12-14, 2013 at Wisconsin Dells.
A New Approach this year
The goal of Grace's Youth Ministry is a 5:1 ratio - five adults to every one youth. To do this Grace seeks to offer many activities for youth and to encourage parents and adults to attend and interact with youth. This website is a tool Grace also offers to make all those activities immediately informed, available, and accessible for planning, registering, and giving input. Plus lots of acitivities, devotions, and information that you can continue at home.
