Bring a rake OR bring a shovel!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

Hey Gang,

I know what you are all thinking...."Are we having Service Day on Saturday?"

Well, the answer is....YES!!

Whether the ground is covered in snow or in leaves, we will have work to do. Regardless of the weather, we will meet at the church at 1 o'clock. Dress warm and we will shovel the walks of several members of our church that may not be able to get out and do it on their own.

When it's all over we will head out for pizza and may even wrap up the night with a snowball fight at the church!

So bring a shovel and be ready to have a good time!

In Christ,
Josh, the youth dude

December Events

Can you believe it's already December? Time for Christmas!! Yeah!

Saturday, December 2nd: Youth Service Day. Meet at church at 1:00 and bring money for pizza afterwards. Bring rakes and/or gloves if you have them. This really is a lot of fun and also a great opportunity to help people in need. That's this Saturday!!

Wednesday, December 13th: We will be going to St. Francis House to sing with the residents there. We take food and it's just another great time to spread the Christmas cheer. We will go there instead of having bible studies at church. We are also asking for donations of warm clothes, travel shampoos, etc. See James if you have any questions.

Friday, December 15th: We will be heading to Kansas City for the Christmas party we have up there. We go to an inner-city elementary school and do things with them. They love it when we come and as most of you know, it's a great time for us too. You will need your parent's permission for this trip.

Tuesday, December 19th: The Youth Christmas Party. We will be heading to the Scott's house to celebrate Christmas with just the youth! Bring a $10 gift for the gift exchange. More details to follow as it gets closer.

Wednesday, December 20th: Candle and Carols. Get into the Christmas spirit with a night of great Christmas music. See Josh or Bobbie if you would like to perform something!

That does it for December. Keep checking back for additional information. Just so you know, there will be a youth New Year's Eve party at church. Check back for details on that and upcoming events. Also, scroll down to see the Question of the Month. We are trying to decide where to go on the January road trip. We could really use some suggestions!! This year, the youth get a say in where we go! So comment or see Josh or Liz at youth with your ideas! Also, the items for our VAC family are due back to the church by Wednesday, December 6th!

QUESTION OF THE MONTH!!!

HEY GANG!!

I have a very special question for you that we are going to keep up the whole month!

Every January our youth group goes on a ROAD TRIP. We want you guys to give us some ideas as to where to go! We are looking for a place that does not cost very much money and is within about 3 to 4 hours from the church. We will gather up all your ideas and pick one to be our destination for:

November/Early December Events

Yes, I know, it is November 16th and I'm just now posting November events. So sorry!

Sunday, November 18th: The church is having the Thanksgiving dinner after morning worship. Lots of good food! Also, there will not be youth group that night!

Saturday, December 2nd: Youth Service Day, meet at the church at 1:00 to go help some people in our church. We will be raking leaves, cleaning gutters, and other assorted things. Afterwards, we will go grab some food, so bring money. I know it probably doesn't sound like that much fun, but it really is a good time. You get to hang with your friends from youth and help some people out at the same time! So definitely come!

Also, in the month of December, the youth group has decided to take care of the household needs for one of the Voluntary Action Center families the church has adopted. You can either pick something off the list or just bring money to Josh or Liz. Let one of them know if you are going to buy something off the list so we don't duplicate things. Bring the stuff or money to church no later than December 6th. Here's what we need to get for them:
Queen sized blankets
Queen sized comforters
Silverware
Bath towels
Body & Bath products
Kitchen towels
Griddle pan
Throw rugs
Curtains for a long, wide window

Thanks guys! Check back later in the month for December events! I can't believe it's almost Christmas!!
