NOTE: 2020 Urban Plunge plan features local service, virtual connections

Youth across the Presbytery of Lake Michigan are invited to join in worship, service and fellowship during the 2020 Urban Plunge.

This year’s event will be a single-day event on Saturday, November 7. There will be no host church. Instead, groups of youth at local churches will join some activities in a virtual meeting space and do other activities at the church or other local location.

Churches are asked to let the Youth Strategy Group know by Thursday, October 1, how many middle and/or high school youth and adult leaders plan to participate in the Urban Plunge event.

For more information, please contact Elder Brian Koon at b.koon@comcast.net
