THE CENTER @ ST. BART'S NEWS
Are you in 6th – 12th grade? Or are you the parent of a youth in those grades? Then this information is for you!
The CENTER for youth @ St. Bart’s is a youth group that learns together. We meet on Sundays from 10 – 11 a.m. in the Vestry room (see below for directions) and also get together at other times for fellowship and fun.
This year we will be learning and living a Service Curriculum -- extending our help to those in need. In addition to reaching out to those less fortunate than ourselves, we will be learning how to serve our church community as well. To that end, we will be training these youth as Greeters, Lectors and Lay Readers throughout the year.

DIRECTIONS TO THE VESTRY ROOM
Stand in the church facing the high altar. To your right is the pulpit. To the right of the pulpit are some curtains. Go through the curtains and you'll find yourself in a hallway facing two wooden doors. The Center in the Vestry Room is the second door on your right, through those wooden doors.
