Well, school has started and so it must be time to kick off Youth Groups for the Fall! Other things may pop up via facebook and text, so be sure to have your contact info in to Kevin. Be sure to have a 2012-2013 Permission Form filled out to attend epic events. Fill it out with your parents and bring it back to Kevin.

So here's what's happening:

RALLY DAY! What the heck is Rally Day anyway? Well, it's the kick off of Christian Education programs for the Fall. This year we're also acknowledging 100 years in our bil ol' stone building with a community lunch, games, pony rides, and other fun stuff after church on September 9th. (Please note: there is only ONE WORSHIP SERVICE AT 10:31am this Sunday!)

Christian Aid Center Dinner. (Thursday, September 13th) The youth prepare and serve dinner for the needy several times a year at the CAC. Meet at the back door of their kitchen (off Birch & 4th) at 4pm and we'll be done around 6:15pm. This is a great way to serve others in the name of Jesus Christ! (or meet Kevin at the church around 3:45pm and we'll walk together.)

Movie Night. On Friday, September 14th, youth fight over their favorite couches to watch not one, but BOTH Ghostbusters movies. Pizza, popcorn, and other movies novelties will be provided. Bring your friends and enjoy these classic films!

YOUTH AWAY! Because of the Walk With Christ spiritual retreat being held at the church, on September 30th Youth Sunday School will pile into the van and head out for breakfast and a devotional together. Youth Groups that evening will be at Pioneer Park... follow the Flamingos to find where we're meeting there! Please note that there is NOT an overlapping dinner time on this night. CREW is 5-7, DEEP 7-9 at the Park, but each group will have a picnic of their own.

*****REGULAR STUFF******

Sunday Night Youth Group. Beginning September 9th Middle School (CREW) meets from 5pm-7pm and High School (DEEP) meets from 6:30pm-9:00pm at the church (unless specified otherwise) for games, songs, lessons, more games, dinner, and a time of getting to know other Christians better. 

Wednesday Night Bible Study. Part of Wednesdays @ First & Birch starting September 12th, 6th - 12th grade students meet together (for now. we may split into 2 groups depending on how many come regularly) to take a deeper look at what the Bible actually says and means for our faith and lives as followers of Jesus. This Fall we start with a look at a couple of the Letters written to early Christians. Dinner is available at 6:00pm and Bible Study starts at 6:45ish (Dinner is for families, not just youth. In fact, there is adult Bible study, Alpha: exploring the meaning of life, or choir at the same time as Youth Bible study. Childcare provided for the younger ones.)

Sunday School. Beginning September 16th 6th - 12th grade students meet in the basement during the 10:31am Worship Service to learn more about the stories found in the Bible, watch videos about cool stuff, talk about how Scripture speaks into our faith, and usually play the Wii. Cocoa, Coffee, and Donuts accompany this morning time. (We do encourage students to attend the 9:01am worship service and grow as a multi-generational group of believers. Adult & Children's Sunday School is also going on at 10:31 so bring the whole family!)
