1. The goals of the ministry group for the Year 2022 

After two years of mostly meeting online/hybrid methods, Youth Ministry and Children Ministry were looking forward to meeting in person again. With the formation of Family Ministry, our goal is to serve and equip families to raise up the next generation in the Word of God. 

2. The highlights of the activities for achieving the goals

• Restarted VBS after 2 years of hiatus.

  • 30 students were served during each session of VBS

  • Leadership training provided for 15 youths through the VBS CIT program 

• Family Summer Camp

  • 17 families (total of 45 participants) from all three congregations attended the Summer Camp at Warsaw Caves Conservation Area over the August long weekend.

• Another successful softball season fielding 3 teams (A high school youth team, an university team, and an adult with members from all three congregations)

• A NYCBC Family Softball Day with participants from all three congregations.

• Resumed in-person Children Sunday School, averaging 59 students on Sunday mornings. The most we’ve had was 74 on one Sunday.

  • Over 20 volunteers each Sunday
