Our seniors did a stellar job at welcoming our new 6th graders and making them feel right at home! These sixth graders have been officially in HYG for 6 weeks and are already showing so much maturity and leadership potential. We can't wait to see what the next seven years will hold for the class of 2032!
A huge thank you to the Wildricks for hosting us for dinner!

I have had a couple of families take us up on this attempt to spend some intentional time having faith conversations with their family. It has been a cool thing for them. If you have any interest, email me at [email protected] for the details and we can get you started.
This is simply helping families create some intentional moments for discipling your teenager by adjusting one thing you likely already do every week. You would commit to taking one family dinner night a week for 5-6 weeks to work through a discipleship book together. We will provide some guidance, we just need the families.
