If you said Yes to these Qs, then RSLP is for you!!

Materials we ask RSLP youth to bring:
  • Their own personal Bible. This is to be a physical book to hold, read, and highlight verses in. NOTE: If youth does not have a personal Bible yet, please contact me (Brittney) so I can put one in their hands.
  • A portable outdoor chair.
  • A pen/pencil and a highlighter.
  • A small snack to eat during break time (these are not to be shared).
  • Mask & hand sanitizer. See Return to Gather for more info on this.
All other materials will be provided by Roots Youth Ministries and KIUMC.
