Youth: Move Day and Christmas Party!

Hello youth and families.

I hope this finds all of you well. Our fall party was a wonderful time! We'd like to send a huge thank you to the Thiesen family and all of those who helped prep for the event! We are grateful for all of the work you did to prepare to generously host our group for an evening of outdoor fun and fellowship!

This email contains repeat information, upcoming dates without youth group and an ask to help us move youth items!

Yesterday in youth group we continued in 1 Timothy and studied 1 Timothy 2:1-8 and explored Paul's teaching on praying for those in authority. We considered why we should pray for all people and the youth named specific people in authority we should pray for that we may not typically think to pray for.

For our youth registered for the senior high retreat, Momentum, you should have received a separate email from me with details for the weekend. Send me a note if you're registered and haven't gotten that email.

Please Make Note of the Following Upcoming Youth Events/Details:

-No Youth Group on Wednesday, Nov 25th for the Thanksgiving holiday

-No Youth Group Wednesday, Dec 2nd as it's the evening of our Pre-Council meeting

-No Youth Group Wed Dec 23 and 30 for Christmas Holiday, also no Youth Group on Jan 6th as that is our evening of prayer

-Save-the-Date: Junior High Retreat, JumpStart, is scheduled for Feb 26-28, 2027

As always, feel free to send any questions, comments, etc. you may have.

In the Strength of Christ,

HELP US MOVE FOR CONSTRUCTION

Construction of the youth and open area is scheduled to begin in early December. We need to get all of our items out to the blue building/garage while the work is done. One more difficult aspect of the move is moving the solid wood and slate pool table out to the garage. Please plan to come help us move items out the evening of Tuesday, Nov 24th at 6:45pm!

CHRISTMAS PARTY

All youth are invited to join for our Christmas Party Friday, Dec 4th from 6-9pm at HBIC. We will have food, games and prizes! Dinner will be served and we invite youth to bring a side dish or dessert to share. We will also be having a White Elephant gift exchange. We ask each youth to bring a wrapped gift, valued at $15 or below for the exchange. We will also have a gingerbread decorating contest and other games!

HELP WITH PARENTS' NIGHT OUT

The Fellowship Team is hosting a parents' night out for parents of young children. This event is at HBIC on December 12th from 5-8pm. They've invited the youth to help care for the children! Youth will be tasked with helping to care for the children, play games with them and help them do a craft activity. This will be a blessing to our parents and families! Email Nicole Hull if you're interested in helping out.

We sometimes post upcoming events or pics from our gatherings on our Instagram profile! (There's a reel from Wednesday's community meal!) Follow us at hbic_youth.
