Sunday School
Our Middle School and High School Youth spend their Sunday School hour engaging the world from a faith perspective. They look at current events and the realities of teenage life and ask themselves how the Bible and their own journey with God helps them understand and cope with the world around them, as well as helps them be an influence for good. The Middle School Youth do this with the aid of our denominational curriculum. The High School Youth blaze their own trail!

B.Q.’s and Donuts

Sundays, 9:15-10:10 a.m.

Senior High Youth: Do you ever hear someone make a comment about religion, the Bible, Jesus, the church and wonder about it?  Do you have questions about your own faith and how it fits into the “big picture” of Life, the Universe and Everything?  Now is your chance to ask your Big Questions or B.Q.’s! Every Sunday morning this spring, Janet Ober will be in the Youth (Rainbow) Room from 9:15 to 10:10 a.m. to talk about what’s on your mind.  You can bring your questions with you or slip them in the box in Janet’s office any day of the week. Or just email it to Janet@LaVerneCOB.org.  She doesn’t promise to have all the answers; but she is willing to talk about anything on your mind.  Oh, and yes, she will have donuts if you’re hungry.  (Janet is available to talk about your B.Q.’s at other times too.  Just email or call her: 909-593-1364.)

Service Projects
Being of service to others is important to our youth. They clean pews after worship, volunteer at Young Peacemakers Camp, create and lead services, raise money for families in need and buy gifts for them at Christmas, sell Fair Trade coffee and chocolate to provide just markets for growers, harvesters and producers, and more!
