Hello youth, Parents and leaders!

September has flown by and we are rushing headlong into October! Here is some information about what is coming up!
SMALL GROUP NIGHT
We have a scheduled Small Group Night for October 6th. This means that each small group will be doing their own activity some time during that week. Our regular Friday Program will not be running on the 6th, so please make sure to connect with your small group leaders to know what is going on for your group that week!
T-SHIRT and HOODIE ORDERS!
I would like to get our apparel orders done in October. While we haven’t yet decided on what this year’s design will be, order forms will be available starting tonight (sept 29) and have been attached to this e-mail as well! Order forms and payment MUST be brought to me no later than October 29th! Orders should arrive by mid November. Design is currently in the works and will be decided shortly. Finally, due to trying to meet cost on the apparel, the price this year for Hoodies will be $45/Hoodie. These prices cover the cost only. If for some reason we make any money on these orders, that money will be put back into the youth program and benefit what we are doing here.
WINTER CAMP!!
Well, back due to popular demand, I have managed to book us a weekend youth retreat for our youth group! On November 24-26 We will be going to Gull Lake Camp for an epic weekend of fun, food, group bonding, bible study and more! More specific details will be coming out closer to the date. In the meantime, students can begin registering for this event! Gull Lake camp requires that we give them an accurate headcount in advance of our arrival. Therefore i would like payment and Permission forms (attached below and available at the church) to be handed in by November 10th. Cost for this event will be $160/student. This covers all food, travel and lodging and activities for the weekend. If the only barrier to attending this event is the cost, please come talk to me so that we can work together to find a way for every student to attend.
 
MESSAGES FOR OCTOBER
If you want to follow up with what we are teaching and learning together each week at youth group you can! For this entire program year our teaching theme is “Testimony”. Each evening a person will share a 5-10min testimony with the group. I will then explore the story of a bible character and apply the lesson that character learned to our own lives. For October the theme of the bible stories will be “Friendships”. We will look at the stories of Ruth, Jonathan and David to learn about being reliable friends, trusted friends, and the pain of broken friendships.
That is all for this month! If you have any questions or would like more information about anything we are doing, feel free to reach out anytime by e-mail or contacting me on my cell phone (780-335-4080)!
