Youth Sunday is always one of those special days that we mark on the calendar well in advance - it's a day when our incredible youth serve as lectors sharing the readings of the day, as ushers and greeters who welcome us all to church, who lead us in prayer for one another and the world, and who provide a unique sermon from their essential point of view. This is a day of worship not to be missed. Come and gather with us - ALL ARE WELCOME.   #YouthSunday   #youthsunday   #OurY
