Important information about the REMIND app
Here's some information about this move.

- DO I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING?  You do NOT have to download the app.  You will receive the messages as texts if you don't already have the app.
- DO I HAVE TO SIGN UP?  If you are not currently receiving the messages, yes.
- HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I'M ASSIGNED TO A GROUP?  You will receive a notification when you are assigned to a group.
- HOW CAN I LEAVE A GROUP?  If you wish to leave a group, you can  1) contact Bruce,  2) follow the instructions on the welcome notification, or  3) remove the "class" from within the REMIND app.
- DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING IF I'M ALREADY RECEIVING TEXTS?  No.  The below information & forms are for others who are not currently receiving texts (future teens & parents) and can be ignored at this time, unless you wish to receive the weekly emails. 

There are a couple of ways to receive updates about what's going on in the Youth Ministry program.

  1. Via Email -- You can sign up to receive the emailed bulletin with Youth Ministry announcements.  These are sent on Friday mornings detailing the coming week's activities.
  2. Via Text/Remind app -- You can sign up to receive up-to-date information (event times, signup reminders, etc.).  These are sent multiple days of the week.
  3. Via Website -- You can find the next week's announcements on this website by Wednesday night.


To sign up for one or both of these notifications, please follow the instructions below:
