On the first and third Tuesdays of the month, the youth meet from 5:30-7:30pm in the CLC Fellowship Hall.  Families take turns providing the evening meal, and then the Energizers are led in devotions, activities and crafts.  Special events, such as hikes and bowling are sometimes arranged.

Family Ministry

Christ Lutheran Church is currently developing a family ministry program.  We hope to develop a program that engages all ages of the church, and allows us to grow together as a community.  Our first family night of 2010 is in the works, and you can expect it in April.

Everything we do as part of the CLC Youth ministry is with an awareness of the “empty chair policy”, that is, there is always room for one more!
