Youth from Rolling

came together for an end-of school celebration. The young people
spent Saturday at Universal Studio's "Islands of Adventure" theme park, then enjoyed a "lock-in" sleepover
at Rolling Hills. On Sunday morning the young people met to share
their vision for their church, and worshiped with the Rolling Hills
congregation. The congregation was blessed in worship by a praise
dance group from Palm Beach.
