Sunday and Wednesday!

For those of you in Confirmation: We have our luncheon from 12-1pm at the church. We'll provide the food, you just provide us with what you're learning so far!

For those of you on the Gleanings Mission Trip: We have our meeting from 2-3pm! Come ready for some more team building fun and info about our trip!

For those of you that are 8th grade Leaders on our mission trip: We will be meeting from 1-2pm to continue planning out trip details.

Wednesday!

Wednesday is our annual Winter Dessert! Come and bring your family and friends for a some delicious dessert and to see and hear what we did on our Middle School and High School Winter Retreats! This night is not only for those who went but also just important for those who didn't. Come and get an idea of what we did and maybe start thinking about coming next year! Also it's great for our 8th graders to get an idea of what to look forward to next year.

So we'll see you THIS Wednesday from 7-8:30!

Next week will also be a little different as we cancel youth group and invite our students and their friends and families to attend our Church's Ash Wednesday Service.

Regular time of 5:43-7:15pm youth group will come back on March 16th with our 3rd annual Fort Wars! Bring friends, bring pillows, bring blankets, bring attitude!

Movie Night Cancelled!

Due to the incoming blizzard...

Our movie night that was scheduled for tonight, will be cancelled.

Instead, grab a sled and have some fun!

We'll see you at the Winter Dessert This Wednesday from 7-8:30!

Movie Night and Gleanings Info!

Instead of Youth Group THIS Wednesday we will be having a movie night from 7:15-9:15pm! Bring a friend, bring a snack to share, bring something comfy to sit on (like a blanket or pillows).

(If the timing sounds odd, it's to make it easier for parents who also have to pick up and drop off their High School students who have a movie night from 7-9:30pm.)

Next Wednesday will be our Annual Winter Dessert which is for the whole family. We feed you some dessert and see and hear what went on during the middle school and high school winter retreats. And this still worth going to even if you didn't attend either trip! It gives you an opportunity to see what went on in case you'd like to go next year as well as for 8th graders to learn about trips for next year.

On Sunday from 2-3:15pm we will be having our second Gleanings Mission Team Meeting! If you haven't sent off your support letters, get it done! Also remember to turn in your Gleanings permission slips.

Stupid Cupid and the Next 4 Weeks

This Wednesday we will be doing a night about Valentines Day. Don't worry, you don't need a date but do bring some friends as we play some games and talk about why Valentines can be silly.

Next week the Public Schools are on President's Break so we won't be having Youth Group. We will try to put together a hangout time so check back next week for details.

March 2nd will be our Winter Dessert so bring your family and friends to see and hear how our High School and Middle School Winter Retreats went! It'll be from 7-8:30 and dessert will be served (so it's not just a clever name...).

Then bring your family and friends back the following week from 7-8pm as we have a church-wide Ash Wednesday Service. If you've never kicked off Lent (the 40 days leading up to Easter) with an Ash Wednesday service, please come and experience it! We won't be meeting for youth group this week.

But we will be starting back up our regular 5:43-7:15pm youth group on March 16th with our 3rd Annual Fort Wars!

Gleanings Info!

Those going on our Mission Trip to Gleanings we'll be meeting after church on Feb. 27 so please keep that on your calendar! If you haven't sent out your support letters, do so soon! Contact Jen with any questions.

Gleanings and Retreat Recap!

Tomorrow will be our Retreat Recap night where we'll play some games and talk about what we did and learned from our winter retreat this past weekend. This is not a night just for those who went, quite the opposite! We do our Retreat Recap nights to keep everyone on the same page with what was shared so make sure you come and bring a friend!

For those signed up for our Gleanings Summer Mission Trip, your next fund raising opportunity is serving THIS Friday at our Annual Sweetheart Banquet. Be here from 5:15-8:30pm to help with setup, serving and cleaning up. If you can, please wear a white button up top with black pants/skirt in case we need extra help serving (don't worry if you don't have this to wear). If you cannot make it during that time, please contact Jen Easton immediately to see when/where we can plug you in to help decorating or cleaning up.

Also don't forget to mail out your support letters before our next Mission Team Meeting on Sunday, February 27th. If you need more information about those, please contact Jen Easton.
