YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS

The Annual Yard Sale is almost here. There are so many ways you can be a part of this great event: Donate, bring a baked good, help sort, help the day of the sale, SHOP, and encourage your friends to shop. Make sure you get to be part of the fun! Thanks in advance for supporting Youth Ministry through this sale.

With the start of the year comes new opportunities in Youth Ministry. There are volunteer positions open with all of the age groups. If you feel Spirit calling you to join our fantastic Youth Ministry Team, we would love to have you. You would be joining a fantastic group of volunteers and children. Please talk to Lisa Singeisen to get an application. Now is a great time to join our team so that you can join us for the Teacher Training on Saturday, February 20, beginning at 9:00 am. This will be a chance to learn more about youth ministry, the curriculum, the students and to connect with other teachers. Please sign up in the hallway if you plan to attend this training.

Our Uniteens group is starting up again! This is a class for young people who are 11 to 14 years old and are in 6th, 7th or 8th grade. The class will start meeting on February 14th, in the Uniteens room. If you know of a young person who is in that age range I hope you will encourage them to join the group.

We’re going on a field trip! On Sunday, February 28th, Youth Ministry is going to see a performance of “Annie” at Venice Theater. We will have a pot luck lunch after the second service then will head over to see the show. Kids and parents are welcome to attend. You must sign up by Friday, February 5th, in order to attend. A sign-up sheet is in the hallway.

We will also be doing something very exciting this summer. We will be running a week long summer program for kids following the Unity curriculum “The Amazing Creation Studio”. This will be a fun undertaking but will require a good team of people to help make it come to fruition. If you are interested in being a part of this team, please come to a planning meeting on Sunday, March 28th, after the second service.
