On Youth Sundays our teenagers are our worship leaders. The youth share with us their experiences from the Montreat youth conference and from their mission trips. Their most recent mission trip was a week of Katrina recovery assistance in New Orleans.
The Lenten season begins with an Ash Wednesday service. During Holy Week, we celebrate a Maundy Thursday service with our partner congregation, Parkway Gardens United Presbyterian Church, and we have a Tenebrae service on Good Friday.
