High School Youth Group

Youth Group meets on Sunday evenings following the 5:00 pm service, from 5:45–6:45 pm in the Youth Room. These relaxed, come-as-you-are gatherings include check-ins (highs and lows), prayer, food, and discussion sparked by something shared by a group member or leader, such as a book passage, poem, or film clip. When time allows, we also play games like foosball or cards. At least once a month, we’ll replace the regular meeting with a special activity, such as offsite outings or movie nights. 

Other Youth Group offerings and activities include:

• Monthly Outings: We will have monthly offsite social outings, such as mini-golf, hiking, and bowling. Upcoming outings include mini golf at Norwalk Cove Marina on September 15th, hiking at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation on October 5th, and bowling at Pinstripes in Norwalk on November 17th.
• Sunday Movie Nights: Held quarterly in the Youth Room, featuring films relevant to youth, our world, and faith. Our first movie night of the year is on Sunday, October 6th.
• Laundry Love: On the first Wednesday of each month, join us for a hands-on outreach opportunity at Laundry Love in East Norwalk from 5:00–7:00 pm.
• Service Opportunities: Additional outreach opportunities will be announced soon.
