Connect
Bainbridge Youth Program
Gather for fun – food – fellowship – prizes
CONNECT is a youth program for young people in Grades 5 – 12 sponsored by some of the Conoy Township churches. Each Thursday evening (1st & 3rd) features activities, prizes, refreshments and a devotional time. Connect offers opportunities for the youth of our community to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to grow in a relationship with Him and each other. Connect youth outreach was started September 7, 2004.
Meetings are held at Bainbridge Elementary School. On non-school days they are held at Word of Life Chapel.
Youth must stay and participate from 6:00 thru 7:30 pm unless picked up early by their parents.
First-time participants are encouraged to have parents accompany them to registration.
Phones should be for emergency use only.

9:15 AM Training and Discipleship Electives
1.) NEW ELECTIVE – LED BY DAIN KULP IN THE MPR! Judges- a 350 year
time period when Israel repeatedly “did evil in the eyes of the Lord “, and “
every man did as he saw fit “. The necessity of a righteous king to lead the
nation in covenant obedience laid the foundation for king David’s reign and
points us to the reign of King Jesus over his Church and our hearts.
2.) Class led by Ken Rutt continues in the library – Study in Acts– we will
see how the question marks guide us in understanding how this solid faith is
applied in the lives of the believers.
3.) There is no Ladies Class meeting at this time.
