HSM - November 2025

Dear Parents,

Welcome to our November Newsletter! At the beginning of each month, we send out all the information that is going on within YOCF. Make sure to stay connected to our Instagram @yoyoyocf for updates! Check out our plans for the coming weeks and the ways we will be connecting, daily, weekly, and upcoming events!

On Sunday mornings, the high schoolers get the opportunity to sit in the main service during the worship and sermon. Sunday nights are when the youth group for the high schoolers is held! This goes from 5-6:30 pm in the youth room. There will be no youth group the night of November 30th for Thanksgiving break.

Students have the opportunity to join a Life Group that allows for deeper connections between peers and leaders within the smaller groups. These are held on Wednesdays and Thursdays and are held at individual locations depending on the group. There will be no group on November 26th/27th for Thanksgiving break.

This month we have a lot of exciting events coming up! Be sure to continue further down in the newsletter for more information on each specific event, but here is a quick overview of what we have coming up. 

• • • •  But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

                                                                                        Ephesians 2:4-5

       

With Much Love,

YOCF Staff

Life Groups are meeting on Wednesday & Thursday nights off campus and in homes. This year our goal with Life Groups is to have more students committed to intentional  fellowship & growth in their relationship with God. We are assigning students to Life Groups and are using our YOCF Connect Form to assign students to groups based off of their availability. If your student desires to be in a Life Group they must fill out this form & contact Hannah ([email protected])

There will be no groups meeting the week of November 26th/27th for Thanksgiving break.
