Youth Council Job Description

Youth Council Application

Richmond United Presbyterian Church
Youth Game Night

There are often over 40 kids at Youth Game Night which takes place every Thursday evening in Richmond , Ohio . This small country church has a burgeoning youth ministry that started in the spring of 2008 with an attempt to repair the old broken ping-pong table in the basement of the church. With some enthusiasm from church members folks began to donate computers, computer games, game systems, furniture, air hockey, a foose ball table, a pool table, a Praise Band kit along with lots of extra crafts and food to feed the many that would come through their doors. Youth who come for the fun and games get a full hearty meal and a Bible lesson along with lots of smiles and a listening ear.
