Grace Youth Groups meet on the first and third Sundays of the month from 6:00 - 7:30 pm. in the Undercroft from September through May. In addition, activities are planned from time to time throughout the summer. Contact the church office for more information. 616-396-7459.. The groups will begin each meeting with a shared meal and then will split into Middle School and High School groups. All are welcome to join at any time during the program year.

 

The Youth will focus on Service and Fellowship this year. Service projects will include a food drive (November), a sponsored family (Christmas) and CROP Walk (April). In addition, the Youth will share a number of fellowship opportunities including a "Wilderness Retreat" for High School (September 15th), a ski trip for ALL Youth (February), and participation in Diocesan activities (February and March). The High School group will be working toward a pilgrimage which is scheduled for late July 2008.

Wish our Pilgrim's a safe and memorable trip to England. They will be departing Grace on Saturday, July 26th and returning on Monday, August 8th. During that time, they will hike a 60 mile portion of the Canterbury Trail and visit sites important to our history. If you would like more information regarding Pilgrimage 2008, please contact Debbie Coyle at the church office.
