The Metro D.C. Synod Youth + Family Committee invites the high school youth of the Metro D.C. Synod to join this year's Play + Pray events. Each conference will have an event local to them that all youth are invited to with costs covered by Youth + Family. That's right, come play, eat, join in fun and fellowship, and it is completely free. We even want you to bring a friend!
Come to the event closest to your home or congregation, or one that had a convenient date for you. You are even welcome to come to more than one to meet and make more friends.
Each event will begin with an hour of whatever fun activity the event location provides and then will go into small group time with ice breakers, devotional, and discussion time. Small groups will be provided guiding questions to bring the text into the real lives of the youth created by high school youth on our committee.
