6:00 PM—Worship (Classes 3rd grade and down will meet as scheduled.)

Tonight’s worship assembly will be led by the young men in our youth group. This year, Alan Ragan and Bob Spencer have

taken our youth to the following congregations on Sunday evenings, where our young men have conducted the worship assemblies:

New Spring Creek Church of Christ

Vanleer Church of Christ Midway Church of Christ

Water Street Church of Christ Waverly Church of Christ

Walnut Street Church of Christ

During these assemblies, 13 of our young men have preached the gospel and 8 have led singing. We are always happy to share our

youth with other area congregations, but we look forward with great anticipation each year to the time when they “come home” and lead

the assembly at Walnut Street.

7:00 PM—Youth Chorus Presentation Our youth chorus, under the direction of Bob Spencer, consists

of young people ranging from the 6th-12th grades. This is the 31st

consecutive year of the Youth Chorus at Walnut Street!

7:30 PM—Finger food add-a-dish fellowship We will conclude the day with a special time of

fellowship as we share a finger-food meal together.

Please bring food for your family and several of our guests!
