This week marks the end of our regular Wednesday Night Activities for the fall, and what an incredible season it’s been! Thank you for showing up with energy, kindness, and enthusiasm each week — our youth ministry is stronger because of you.


Our Next Dungeon and Dragons Session during Snack N' Study will be November 30th!


🎅 Don’t forget — Breakfast with Santa is coming up on December 6th at 10 AM!

Our youth will help serve pancakes, run craft stations, and assist little ones as they take photos with Santa. It’s always a joyful morning, and we’re excited to see our students lead with cheerful hospitality.


🎶 Carols & Candles rehearsals continue tonight right after Discipleship Groups! This year’s performance will take place on December 14th at 6 PM, and we can’t wait to see our youth shine as we celebrate the story of Christmas together. We need your help to support rehearsal spaces and assist with props — your presence makes a huge difference! We still need parent support with Volunteers in the space! Sign Up Below!


We are super excited for a great November! Let’s finish the fall strong and step into Advent with joy!

What We Are Learning!

Discipleship Groups 11/19


Students will explore God’s promise of a renewed creation — a future marked by peace, joy, justice, and restoration. They’ll learn that because God secures our future, we can live with courage, hope, and purpose today.


Questions to Ask Your Youth:

  • What part of God’s promised future in Isaiah 65 gives you the most hope?
  • How might your choices today change if you trusted that your future is secure in God?
  • Where do you need God to bring renewal, peace, or strength into your life right now?



Confirmation 11/19


This week, students will explore Advent as a season of hopeful waiting, discovering how the story of Jesus’ birth reveals God’s humility, love, and faithfulness. They’ll learn that Advent prepares our hearts not only to celebrate Christ’s birth, but also to live in expectation of His ongoing work and promised return.


Questions to Ask Your Youth:

  • Why do you think Advent is a season of waiting and preparation, not just a countdown to Christmas?
  • What surprises you most about the way God chose to enter the world through Jesus’ birth?
  • How can our family make space for hope, peace, joy, and love during Advent this year?

Sunday School 11/23


Youth will be helping to decorate the CLC Christmas Tree during Sunday School.

Youth Group (8th-12th) 11/23
