Iglesia Conexiones Youth Group Hangout
September 2020
A small youth group came out one afternoon when there was no school and did archery, canoeing, and just hung out having fun. Trips can be as scheduled or as relaxed as you choose, but either way the day is memorable and educational in so many unexpected ways! There is so much to discover about ourselves and each other when we get to spend time getting out of our comfort zones and building relationships.
