CHOSEN Generation Youth Ministry invites you to join our Winter Reading Challenge from November 7, 2021 to February 6, 2022. This year’s challenge encourages youth (6th – 12th grade) to embrace reading and literacy as tools of liberation by reading at least one age-appropriate book a month from our Justice Reding List. Youth, parents, and the Friendship West community can support our challenge by donating books to our Justice Book Drive. All book collected during our Justice Book Drive will be donated to support incarcerated youth and encourage them to reclaim their lives through literacy.
