Eating Schedule for Cell Groups

Just in case you may have been living under a rock for the last month, I'll announce it again: Cell groups have moved to Wednesday Nights. It has been a staple of our youth ministry to eat out after Wednesday Night Worship for years. With cell groups meeting at different locations in and around the Summerville area, this tradition will become even more important for the unity of our group. If your child is in a cell group, please let allow him/her to come to the restaurant with us, even if they only stay for a few minutes and don't eat anything. This will be a great chance for the students in the youth ministry to stay connected to the group as a whole. And... if you have multiple children that meet in multiple locations for cell groups, it will provide a good central location to pick them up from. You can work out details with me or your child's cell as to how they can get to the restaurant. Below is the schedule of where we will be meeting each night.
