While it may not seem like it yet with the wet and cold weather this week the school year is winding down. This week is our last "normal" week of youth group. Next week we have our end of the year party, and in just a month school will be over! Our summer is fast approaching and along with it comes tons of youth activities. First we have our pancake breakfast with the Elks coming up on May 31st. Come to help serve (sign up outside my office) and come to support our youth by eating the yummy pancakes. After that we have Vacation Bible school the first week of June. I know many of you will be there helping out with games, crafts, and snacks. If you want you can stick around and hang out with me, or just hang out in the youth room. I want to remind you that the church is open all summer long and you are welcome to come in and say hi, hang out in the youth room, and challenge me to a game, whether it be air hockey, Foosball, or a game on our Nintendo. You are always welcome.
Along with that our mission trip is a month and a half away! Oh dear! We are almost halfway through our training and everything else is set up. I'm excited for this trip because there are so many great youth from our church going! Please keep this trip in your prayers.
After our mission trip there is a Tec (teens encounter Christ) opportunity for all senior high youth. Go to http://www.crossroadstec.com/ to find out more and to print out an application. Youth from our church have scholarships available, but you have to talk to me first! This is a fun opportunity and is the final weekend in June.
Then it's on to more fun with our adventure trip! Wow do we have a packed summer. I hope that I get to see all of you next week at our party to say goodbye, and that you stop in to see me sometime this summer!
