“Note: Permission from parents is required for this class, and parents or guardians must attend a parent/guardian orientation. Our high school youth group Sunday time is youth-directed and adult assisted. Youth choose topics to learn about and discuss from current issues to world religions. They also use this time to bond as a group, do social justice projects, and projects that serve the congregation. Sundays at 4 pm.”

Weeks with a video upload (YouTube or livestream). These aren't transcribed, so this only marks presence — no topic coloring.
