"Youth Together"

An exciting five-Church Youth Program

Grades 6-12

Led by Daniel Katyl

Youth Together is made up of youth from HopeGateWay, Williston-Immanuel United Church, Woodfords Congregational Church, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, & State Street Church. 

 

The primary goal of this group: to bring the youth of these faith communities together. We thrive, both as individuals and as a society, through close friendships within our local community, and our hope is that this group creates a space where forming and strengthening those friendships is possible.  Youth in grades 6 - 12 are welcome!
