SUMMARY:TCK Connect - Fall 2022 Kick off!
DESCRIPTION:Connect starts September 15 for Thursday evenings and September 16 for Friday mornings!\nRead more about TCK Connect here\nTCK ages 12-18\nOur teen Connect groups get together on Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm to 9 pm EST and on Friday mornings from 9:30 am to 11 am EST. We typically begin with an interactive game before breaking into small groups for individual check-ins. We’re all about fun and friendship–and maybe a little friendly competition for those who thrive on that sort of thing.  If you’re not competitive\, don’t worry–there’s plenty to laugh about while watching those who are. \nIt’s not uncommon to have people from five continents join at one time!  From the mountains of Asia to the plains of Europe–and all points in between–TCKs join us every Friday for some fun and some time to lay the building blocks of friendships.  Join us!
