Whats Hot for 2008


Whats Hot for 2008

As we embark on a new year, we expect continued ministry, spiritual growth, and just plain ol' fun in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This year we will explore the possibility of starting a youth church designed to present the same God-focused message that is provided in a "regular" worship experience but remixed for a teen and pre-teen audience.

Our 2008 Back 2 School Youth Retreat is scheduled for Saturday, August 30th-Monday, September 1st.

We are committed to providing fellowship opportunities for youth and adults from all three campuses. To that end, we will continue to host bus rides, fashion and talent shows, karaoke nights, spoken word and open microphone nights, basketball games, community service projects, and much much more!!

Elmwood is focused on growing young people in Christ and our young people are on fire and on the move. There is never a dull moment!!

We encourage all youth and young adults of Elmwood Church, whether you worship at Elmwood East, West or Central, to take advantage of the many ministry opportunities available to you; and to invite your friends!!

For more information on how you can get involved contact 973-678-1516 or email thatruth@elmwoodchurchnj.org. -Elder Shak
