Youth Groups: Senior High

 

Senior High Youth Fellowship

Age: Any Senior High Student is welcome to attend!

Description: The Sr. High Youth Fellowship group meets on Sunday evenings (beginning in mid-August) for a light dinner (provided by Sr. High student parents), and an evening of fun and fellowship. Activities may include fun events such as video games, movies, a fall hayride, scavenger hunts; service projects such as making and delivering gifts for shut-ins and collecting and delivering items for holiday food baskets; community building events such as Spoon River District Sr. High retreats and summer camps, as well as overnight lock-ins and weekend retreats with our own youth group; educational and faith development opportunities such as discussions on various faith issues, interfaith dialogue with youth from other faith traditions, and exploration and discussion into various aspects of our own faith; and an annual summer mission trip , and fundraising activities throughout the year to help defray the costs of the mission trip. Historically, the summer mission trip has been to Mexico, but the opportunities are decided each year by the Senior High youth

Meetings: Sundays from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the Sr. High Room, L-3 (mid-August through May)
