Welcome to Locust Grove!
We’re glad to have you join us for our time of worship together. If you haven’t already attended, we would
love to have you also join us for Sunday school next Sunday. Sunday school is an important step in making
further connections with a smaller group of people. Ask for help if you have any questions or
need more information about our church.

Youth Group (Middle & High School Youth) –
The youth group will continue to have a
food sign up form for their Sunday evening gatherings. This form will be placed on the
credenza. We are trying to have more
than just snacks this year. Some
examples would be Uncrustables, loaves of bread, peanut butter and jelly jars,
lunch meat, chips, cheese sticks, pizzas, meat and cheese trays, cookies,
fruits, and veggies. You know they will
eat anything and everything. You can
also designate money for this through the offering. If you have any questions, please ask Angie
or Brad. Thank you for all your support
to feed our hungry youth, Darin, TJ, Marty, Phiona, Angie, and Brad.
