2026 Deacon Nominee: Carmen Gronewold
There have been so many blessings during 2025 in youth ministry! Students have grown spiritually through regular worship, prayer, and reading their Bibles during youth group and Sunday class.
Teens have committed and recommitted their lives to Christ at summer camp, retreats, and conferences. One high school senior recommitted his life to Christ at the Dare2Share youth evangelism event last November.
Pictured are just a few kids from our children’s worship on Sundays. One of their favorite things they love most is to play outside. We have been blessed to see God’s faithfulness through it all: scripture memorization each month, Bible stories, laughter, worship and fellowship. This ministry reminds me of Matthew 19:14 – “Jesus said, ‘ Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” 
We always try and do our best to respect the space by keeping our rooms clean and in good repair. Thank you to everyone who helps support our school’s mission of spreading God’s love to all the “littles” in our community.
In September, students wrote and drew prayers for their upcoming year, placed them in a time capsule and buried it in the church yard. We anticipate digging the time capsule up in May and seeing how God worked through our prayers.
