“For I know well the plans I have in mind for you – oracle of the LORD – plans
for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11

Senior High Youth Conference (SHYCON) provides students with a day full of fun events and experience in helping those in need.
Each year, SHYCON shows our youth the importance of helping others through working with the Rise Against Hunger organization. At SHYCON 2018, 850 teens packaged 30,000 meals for people in the United States and around the world, learning the importance of helping people in need.
