You don’t want to miss this — a night built just for you! On December 19, from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM at Church of Hope in Sarasota, FL, all middle school and high school students are invited for a celebration like no other. We’ll begin with an energizing youth service — worship, a powerful message, and moments to connect with God and each other. Then, we’ll dive into the party: festive games, delicious food, and one of the hottest contests of the night — our Ugly Sweater Contest! Deck out your worst (best?) holiday sweater and compete for the crown of tackiest sweater. ? Why are we doing this? Because this is our last youth service of 2025, and we want to close it out in the biggest, boldest way. This night is about building community, encountering God, making unforgettable memories, and inviting every student to lean into hope as we head into the new year. We want everyone there — no exceptions. So dig out your ugliest sweater, bring your energy and your best moves — let’s end 2025 as a youth family stronger than ever.
