One of the pleasant surprises of the summer has been the vitality of the youth ministry. Brenna has handed over the program to Antonin, and now Antonin has a new sidekick, Hunter Purvis. Hunter was actively involved in the youth group as a high school student at HKIS. He just graduated from Elon College and started 1 August as our Assistant Youth Director. We will welcome him at all services this week. Pastor Greg |
