Kids in the Kitchen
Experience the joy of cooking! Our children can roll up their sleeves and learn how to cook, bake and decorate in the kitchen! This program is geared for ages 8-14, and helps kids build confidence and skills in the kitchen. Classes are taught by chefs from Crop and Kettle and take place on Tuesday January 21, February 19 and March 18 at the YMCA Commons. The cost is only $10 per session or $25 for all three sessions. Pre-registration is required.
Lenten Luncheon
Don’t miss our Lenten Luncheon Series on Fridays March 7, March 21, and April 4 from 12-1 pm in the YMCA Commons. Let’s take a little extra time during this special season to fully appreciate the sacrifice of Christ for us at the cross. A light lunch will be served, followed by a brief devotional message afterwards. (Meatless meal options are available). Free tickets are available at the front desk, but donations will be accepted. We hope to see you there.
Good Friday Brunch
Plan to join us on April 18 in the YMCA Commons at 9:00 am for an annual Beaver County YMCA tradition, our Good Friday Brunch. For only $5 you can enjoy an assortment of food items followed by a brief time of reflection regarding the significance of Good Friday in the life of Christian believers today. Beginning March 5, tickets will be available at the front desk.
