Wednesday Night Youth
This month's theme is called Unmasked. Students are so used to hiding parts of themselves or their story, only sharing what they want the world to see. It’s natural to want to fit in and not be judged for who we are or what we believe. But while some students may hide from the world, the good news is that God sees every part of them—their worth, their God-given design, their fear and mistakes.
Unmasked Session 1
Fall Kickoff
Come to our most fun youth event of the year! We will have pizza at 6:30, youth games with great prizes, a lesson about putting God first in our lives, and end with a Ice Cream Sunday bar. Invite a friend and join us! The Gym doors open at 6.
Middle School

Vocal training workshop with Amanda Chapman
Amanda Chapman is a long-time Arlington worship leader (and friend of Amanda Clothier and Joey!), and she's coming to GHOP to help us focus on breathing, blending, general awareness of our vocal gift and where that fits in worship as well as preparing through warm-ups.
Youth students are invited to sign up!
