Attention LIFE TEEN!

A message from Lisa Vegors. Director of Youth Ministry at Saint Matthew:
As the COVID numbers rise we want to prepare to meet virtually or in smaller groups. Even if you intend to attend in person Life Teen (9th -12th graders) I do not want you to be accidentally left out if CoVid-19 requires us to stop meeting as a big group. We are looking at a hybrid option of giving a weekly lesson to all via Zoom that the small groups will watch together while they are gathered in homes. This would allow for small groups to gather and still discuss the lesson in person. We would also provide a completely virtual options as well. Please register now so we can move quickly into a virtual or hybrid model of Life Teen if needed.
