What in the world is a "claygroup"? 

If you take the C - L - A - Y (which stands for "Cross Lanes Active Youth") and add the word "group" to the end ... it makes our full name - Cross Lanes Active Youth Group.  We are a youth group!  A better name for us would probably be a youth ministry. 

Beyond just a name, we actually have 2 different CLAYGROUPS. 

Kinetic and Ichthys

Each year from September to May there is an ongoing competion between these 2 groups.  The teens are split up into 1 of the 2 different teams.  The two CLAYGROUPS are actively working each week to earn points for their team.  And just like most competitions - - the team with the most points wins. 

What's the prize for the winning CLAYGROUP?

All-expense paid trip (for the most part) to a theme park. (Cedar Point and Six Flags have been previous destinations)
