Teens Encounter Christ
There will be a Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) weekend here in worthington in February. I encourage any senior high youth who wishes to attend to speak with Amy about getting an application. TEC is a retreat that is centered around peer led ministry and is a fun time for all involved. For more information please go to www.crossroadstec.com.
Fun in February!
Mission Trip Meeting!
There will be a meeting for those youth attending the mission trip on February 12th between services in the Senior High Youth Room. Parents and youth should plan to attend as this is a mandatory meeting where we will be going over the basics of the trip, forms, trip training dates, and future fundraisers. If you absolutely cannot be there please let Amy know ahead of time.
Breakfast Club for grade 9-12 is starting up again Thursday February 9th at 7:15 at Amy's house on 324 W. Clary. Come enjoy a yummy breakfast and a peer led devotional. BC is held every other week throughout the school year.
Elementary Bowling/Camp Out!
We will be joining up with American Lutheran again for our annual bowling/camp out day on February 11th from 4:00 till 7:00. We will be meeting at ALC and then heading to the bowling alley for a game. There will be a dinner at ALC to follow along with our camp activities. Youth grades k-5. Please sign up outside of Amy's office to attend. As usual parents are welcome to join us for the fun!

Ski Trip!
I know it's really early to be thinking of our ski trip but I wanted to make sure you were all informed while I still can. This year our ski trip is scheduled for January 15th and we will be joined by a few other local churches as we head to Mt.Kato for some fun in the snow. (yes there will be snow then). We will be leaving at noon and will be back between 9 and 10 that night. The best thing is there is no school the next day!
Costs:
Ski/board rental : $18
Lift ticket: $17
Snow Tube: $30
If you plan to ski or board you will need a lift ticket. Please mark what you plan to do, and if you need to rent equipment when you sign up. Also please mark if you plan to use your church account. If you don't plan to use your account your money for this trip must be turned in by January 8th to the church office. Please keep in mind that if we do not get enough people to sign up to get the group discount that the trip will be canceled so feel free to invite a friend. You will need money for dinner which you can purchase at the lodge. I am happy to answer any questions while I am still available.

Change in Plans
We will no longer be playing Romans & Christians for youth grades 6-12 at American Lutheran on December 14th. We will be playing with them in March. Instead come on the 14th for a time of fellowship and worship with youth from Westminster Presbyterian and First United Methodist. We will be having a meal for all youth and families from 5:00-6:00. Then at 6:00 our Elementary youth (K-5) will head to the Elementary youth room for Buzz while our older youth (6-12) will head out to bring good cheer to others in our community by caroling. This is a great way to show others the love of Christ this Christmas season!

November 2nd!
Don't forget that our plans for YFC (grades 6-12) have changed. We will be meeting at Westminster Presbyterian on 230 Clary St. at 7:15 to join them and 1st Methodist in a game of Romans & Christians. In this game you will get to be the Christians seeking to find a place of worship in Roman times. We will be ending with a brief worship and will be done at 8:30. I look forward to seeing you there! Any parents who want to help out as Romans should talk to Amy!

A busy year!
First our next event is tomorrow from 2-4 at chataqua (I never know how to spell it). We will be having a water fight and I will provide the waterballoons. Please make sure to wear appropriate clothes and shoes for running around and playing. Also if a few youth need rides I have 4 seats for sure. The church van may still be in the shop at that time.
The next big fun thing is Lifelight! Usually we don't have any conflicts with scheduling but this year is a first and it looks like there will be school on the first day of the festival. Don't worry! I will take a trip out there with our other leaders and set up our camp area at the regularly scheduled time. Any youth who don't have school conflicts are welcome to join us at that time. Then we will be meeting at 3:30 after school gets out at church and I will drive the rest of the youth to the festival. This is open to all youth going into grades 6-12 and is an amazingly fun event. Please sign up outside of my office next to a food item and then plan on brining that item. Also the trip is $10 which you can pay for with your accounts. We will be returning around 10 the morning of the 5th. For those youth who need to come back early for the senior high marching band we will talk with parents and figure out rides so you can enjoy both the concert and your marching competition.
It is going to be a busy, fun, adventure filled year so here are some tentative dates for fundraisers, youth events, service projects and a lot of other things we will be doing through the year. Keep in mind that these dates may change. One just did this morning! If they do change I will try to keep you updated and you can look here, or on the website, or on the board outside my office. I'm looking forward to spending a great year with you!
