And They're Off!

We are off to a good start this year. On November 7, three members of our youth group are attending a retreat. We pray that God touches their hearts during this wonderful experience.

Reminder that we have moved the youth group meetings to Sunday. We meet from 5:30pm - 7:30pm. However, we will not be meeting on November 7. Anyone who walks, rides their bike, skate boards or mopeds to the meeting and is expecting to go home the same way.... NEEDS A NOTE from a parent. No exceptions. With everything that has happened in our community, we want to make sure that everyone gets home safely and parents are OK with you going home in the dark that way.

Last meeting we noticed some behavior that is unacceptable. Failure to follow the rules of the group and our church can and will result in you not being able to attend the meetings or outings. For the confirmation class.... that means that you are jeopardizing your confirmation. This is a great group that has done great things. Let's stay focused.

The purpose of the youth group is to have fellowship with one another and to grow our relationship with God.

We will have an outing on November 6 (The cost is $7.00). We will be meeting at the church at 10:30am and going out to lunch for pizza and then going to the Shrine of Christs Passion in St. John. We should be back at the church by 3:30pm. There is a beautiful gift shop at the Shrine. Bring extra money. Families are welcome. Just let Heather know. We have to make arrangements.
