Sunday, February 27th will be designated as Youth Ministry Sunday for St. John’s and our sister UCC Churches.  All the churches will be gathering together to showcase the Illumination Youth Ministries and the impact it has on the youth inside the church and out in the community. 

For those who are unfamiliar, Illumination Youth Ministries is the joint Youth program between St. John’s UCC Newport, St. John UCC Bellevue, and Christ Church UCC Ft. Thomas.  All the churches gather their Youth for activities and discussion on spiritual topics.  This group has been around since 2009 when our church and Bellevue developed the idea.

We are asking the members to gather together for a special offering on Sunday, February 27th.  This program runs solely on the donations from our churches and we are asking for your support as we all gather together to celebrate our Youth.  Special envelopes will be available the week before and the week of February 27th inside your Sunday bulletin. Donations can also be made online through our online donation portal.  

If there are any questions about the program or this special offering, please contact the church office or reach out to one of our members on the Youth Advisory Board (Pastor Barry, Laura Haas, and Kyle Taylor).  Thank you for your consideration to this generous program.
