Since we are now limited by the governor to in person gatherings of 10 people or less, we're going to be changing things up a bit.
March:
3/13, 7:30-9:00pm, Youth Family Ice Skating at Reston Town Center- While we can't gather in groups of more than 10 right now, individual families are able to do activities together at their discretion. Reston Town Center Ice Skating currently sells up to 100 tickets per skate time, and I would love to see our Youth families there, if they feel safe and comfortable, the evening of 3/13. BUY TICKETS NO LATER THAN A WEEK IN ADVANCE! Tickets sell out fast. Families can find information about the covid precautions RTC is taking and purchase your tickets for the 7:30-9:00 time slot here: Ticket Sales

4/10, 11:00am-12:00pm, "Easter Egg" Scavenger Hunt- We will need some parent participation for this one. Youth will split into 2-3 teams to use clues to find "Easter eggs" within walking distance of the church property. The team who completes the challenge in the shortest time will have first choice in prizes! Masks will be encouraged and social distancing of 6 feet will be enforced. RSVP mandatory to make sure we stay to 10 or less.
