Coming Up: Food Drive

In the coming weeks the High School group will participate in a service project. We'll be visiting the residents at Presbyterian Village and playing bingo with them. In previous year this has been a favorite activity of many of the youth group members.

Later, in December, the Middle School group will visit with them as well.

In addition to our service with the residents of Presbyterian Village, we want all youth group participants to start thinking about ways they can do a little extra to help others. With that in mind we are asking our youth group members and families to collect food for a donation to our sister parish's food pantry.

Start collecting canned and boxed goods now. We'll gather them up at our meetings at the end of October and beginning of November.

More information to come...

Off to a Great Start!

Our youth group year is off to a great start. We had a fantastic turnout for both the High School and Middle School groups these past two weeks. We are enthusiastic about this upcoming year and have lots of great stuff planned.

Recap from the past two weeks...

Rules
1. No cell phones during the group. If we catch you texting or playing with your phones, we will hold on to them until the end of the meeting.
2. Be respectful. Listen when others are talking. Don't interrupt.
3. Clean up after yourselves. Make sure all of your trash is thrown away before you leave.
4. Be safe. No running around. Wait on the sidewalk for your parents to pick you up at the end of the meeting.
5. Participate & have fun!

T-Shirts
We designed youth group t-shirts for all of our members. How do you get one?
1. Come to at least 3 meetings and be sure to sign in.
2. Volunteer for a service project on a weekend.

See you all soon!
