North Bay Presbytery Youth Group
Stephanie Sheeler-Armstrong, our Presbtery youth co-ordinator will be holding 2 youth group meetings each month. She has been successfully running a youth group for all youth in our Presbytery that typically meets in South River, Trout Creek or Powassan. I am excited to report that she will now be holding a second youth group in Callandar for all youth in the Presbytery. This will make it alot easier for youth in North Bay to participate in youth events with other Presbytery youth as it will not be as far to drive. North Bay Presbytery Youth Group is for youth in grade 7 and up. If a youth needs a ride to the event or you would like more information, or would like to volunteer your time, I urge you to contact Stephanie at nbpyouth@yahoo.ca or call her at (705)476-6494. The first event in Callandar will be this Sunday October 2nd from 6:30 - 8:30 in Knox United Church and will be a pizza party! Friends are always welcome to come as well.
