ONE Youth is a collaboration of United, Peace and Messiah Lutheran churches. Each of the following youth activities are open to ALL students, 7th – 12th grade, whether they go to one of these churches or not. We want everyone to know they are welcome, so we ask you to please help share this information with others you know who would be interested.
