Painted faces to light up the world
Welcoming Sunday Youth Group Project |
One of the best ways to describe the CUCC Youth Group is to say that we are a close group made up of individuals. Each member is accepted for who they are, and their unique gifts are appreciated and utilized. We are energetic and thoughtful, intellectual and silly, questioning and believing, serious and fun.

| Wright Center meal |
On August 17, the Youth Group prepared and served a meal at the Wright Center. The
photos from that event are available in the
CUCC Photo Gallery.
The CUCC Youth Group is comprised of 7th-12th graders (5th-6th graders are invited to join us every 5th Sunday, and for special event planning). The group is led by Śānti Matthews. Youth meet to live out our faith by getting together for meals, service projects, retreats, worship planning, lock-ins, games, and fun. We will meet regularly this year every 2nd and 3rd Sunday from 12:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m. for lunch and activities, and at other times as planned. The youth help in the life of our church community by providing support such as child care for church events, participating in fully in church-wide events, hosting the talent show, and most recently, designing and producing church T-shirts.

Although the youth in the group vary in personality and age, and attend many different schools, we find that we learn from each other, support each other, care for each other, and genuinely enjoy each other's company. Join us any time; we welcome new faces.
