Middle School Fun Bus

First Community Church — Tue, 08 May 2012 20:56:44 +0000

Fun Bus: The first weekend of each month students are invited to a variety of activities and destinations on a Sunday afternoon. Popular activities include: movies, bowling, Magic Mountain, ice-skating, corn mazes and many more. We typically get about 30 students depending on the activity. This activities is great because is it fun for everyone and the student bring their friends who are not necessarily part of our congregation.

Lunch Time Fun Bus: Twice a month and usually on a Thursday the youth team takes 10 to 20 Upper Arlington middle school students to lunch. Crossroads students are invited to bring their non-church friends and go to lunch at the place of their choosing. We take students from Jones one week and then Hastings students the following week. Upper Arlington is the only school district that allows the student to leave for lunch. This is an opportunity to for us to keep up with the students and interact with them outside of the church. The students love it!
