Chosen - High School Youth
"Chosen" is the name our High School students have selected for themselves:
"But you are a CHOSEN people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God,
that you may declare the praises of him who called you ou of darkness into his wonderful light."
(1 Peter 2:9)
During the school year, Chosen meets on Sunday evenings from 6:30 to 8 p.m. You'll want to check the calendar for actual dates and times--and be aware that special events may cause changes--but here's the basic monthly schedule:
The 1st Sunday of every month is dedicated to getting to know one another. We call it "Homebase Hangout" and we have dinner and fun! The location will vary from month to month as this is a night hosted by an individual family.
The 2nd Sunday is for Bible study in the youth room.
The 3rd Sunday is dedicated to serving the church or our community.
The 4th Sunday is a time for youth worship.
Watch the monthly youth newsletter, Holy Cross Youth Ministries, for times and places.

Homework Club
On Mondays between 4 and 7 p.m., Don and Sarah Comi offer an open tutoring time on a drop-in basis as a ministry both to the congregation and to the wider student community. The focus is math and science from Don and Elementary Education from Sarah. If you or your child need a little homework help, or help with a concept, drop in, especially those in junior or senior high. Please plan to arrive between 4 and 6 p.m. to allow time for help.
Youth Handchime Choir
Our youth handchime choir meets weekly on Tuesdays from 6:15 to 7 p.m. for practice. Students in grades 2 through 12 are invited to join this choir. It's OK if you don't know how to read music; the director will teach you. The group will play mostly on holidays. Questions? Speak with Heather Selset.
