Do not let anyone treat you as if you were unimportant because you are young. Instead, be an example to the
believers with your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your pure life. (1 Timothy 4:12 NCV)

Youth Ministries in the Countryside Cooperative
Sunday School
Sunday School is offered at ... for youth grades ...
FLY (Federation of Lutheran Youth) is a group of fifth and sixth graders from the Countryside Co-op. FLY's goal is to build strong Christian
relationships among peers and with adults in a way that will model how to be Christians in their everyday lives. They get together once a
month to do community service projects and activities just for fun. Some of the activities that they’ve done so far are cosmic bowling,
painting picnic tables for the Parks Board at two area parks, hold a lock-in in Gowrie, and bake and sell goodies to raise money for Christmas
presents for some needy children in the area.
