The Rebel Beat Youth at Webster UCC are all about finding ways to serve their neighbors. They approach service the way the "FOUR FRIENDS" did. The four loved their friend. They saw a need. Their hearts felt the urgency.  Their faith identified the solution and their brains saw the path to get there. This Bible story has become central to our youth ministry.  We thought a table reading of the script for our infamous FOUR FRIENDS drama might help you get to know us better.
