A Youth End-of-Summer Party will take place Sunday, Sept. 17, from 6-8 pm at Open Arms Church in Bradford.

This event aims to provide activities for young attendees, including engaging games and opportunities to get to know one another. Open Arms Church encourages all participants to bring a friend along and, if possible, a favorite dish or snack to share with the group.

“While it may not mark the official end of summer, we wanted to create a fun-filled gathering for the kids, especially with school starting,” said Annette Dennison, who is the next-generation coordinator at Open Arms Church. “We invite everyone to join us and bring their friends to make this event even more enjoyable.”

In addition to the Youth End-of-Summer Party, Open Arms Church’s Student Ministry hosts regular meetings every Sunday from 6-8 pm at 1289 East Main St. in Foster Township, about a mile past Walmart. These gatherings offer a combination of engaging games, educational activities, and teachings centered around Jesus and the Bible.

“Open Arms Church’s Student Ministry provides a safe and welcoming environment for teens to get involved, have fun, and learn about Jesus and the Bible,” Dennison said. “We guarantee an enjoyable experience and look forward to welcoming new faces.”
