Current Youth Focus Topic:

AMBITION

What drives you? Where in life do you want succeed? What type of person are you wanting to become and what steps are you taking right now to get to where you want to be? Lastly, but most importantly, have you brought your dreams, goals and ambitions to God in true prayer? These are the types of questions we are talking about on Wednesday and Sundays for the month of September.

To be a person (youth or adult) and NOT have ambition is a very dangerous thing and we know that God wants us to live into the fullest life we can by following his plans for our life. The only way we can do that is to be ambitious about getting closer with Christ and letting the Holy Spirit inspire us to take the next right step, whatever that may be!

PARENTS: Now is the best time to talk to your children about what they are passionate about. We must encourage our Youth to try new things, dream big dreams, make goals and be willing to fail and learn from mistakes along the way.

• Do you know your child's ambitions?
• What would you say if they asked what your greatest ambitions are right now in life?

Shoutout to Margaret, Elizabeth, Reese, and Maggie

It was so cool to have FOUR Youth helping with worship this past week at the 9:00am service. Maggie sang on the Worship Team while Elizabeth, Reese and Margaret all sang on the Voices of Praise Choir.

If you and/or your youth is interested in being a part of the Voices of Praise please reach out to Carolyn Franzone, Worship Director

Send in those Sports and Extracurricular Schedules!

If your youth is involved in a sport,

e-sports team, band/chorus/orchestra or extracurricular club please send a photo or PDF of their schedule so we can try to make it out and support them!

New & Familiar Youth Parents: please see below for need to know information and reminders/details about regularly occurring Youth events.

Phone-Free Space during Youth Events!

• We are implementing a new plan to have a PHONE-FREE space during Youth Events.
• This change is in effort to continue to foster a healthy environment where Youth can come to engage with one another, breakaway from their digital distractions and most importantly be expectant to experience God in a real way.
• Please just have your Youth leave their phone in the car or at home. If they happen to bring their phone, we will provide a secure place for them to store them until they leave.

Wednesday Nights: 5:00-7:00pm

• Every Wednesday during the school year we meet for an awesome time of hanging out, fellowship(FOOD!) and worship.
• Come ready to get deeper in your relationship with Christ. This year we want to deepen our connection with God in real ways as we dive into topics such as Ambition, Compassion, Perseverance while also listening to the wisdom found in Scripture and by following the example of Christ.

Sunday School: 10:00-11:00am

• Each Sunday, following the 9:00 Worship Service, Youth meet in the Youth Room for a time to check in with each other and deepen faith.
• Sunday School is a great time where we engage in a more discussion based format following-up on what we've learned on Wednesday Nights. Often times we will split into smaller sub-groups (MS&HS, Girls&Boys) to hopefully have more in-depth and personal discussions.

Gym Jam: 11:00am-1:00pm

• Takes place most Sundays after Sunday School. Come ready to move around and have fun as we play team and individual games/challenges!
• Parents please have your Youth attend both the 9:00 worship service and Sunday School if they wish to participate in GymJam.

BRING A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE.

• We go through TOO MANY single-use cups each week. Please bring a water bottle to every Youth event so we can be respectful to our church resources and cut down on our single-use waste.

Contact Ryan for any additional questions you have or information you might need!

Gym-Jam Reminders!

If you want to attend GymJam, please make sure you are also attending the 9:00am worship service and Youth Sunday School at 10:00am also.

Pickup is at 1:00pm from the ActivitiesCenter if we have GymJam.

• If we do not have GymJam pickup is after Sunday School at 11:00am.

PLEASE WEAR GOOD CLOSED TOED athletic style shoes.

• If you need to bring an extra pair of shoes or clothes to change into for Gym Jam please do that. CROCS & SANDALS ARE NOT GOOD for Gym play!

BRING A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE.

• We go through TOO MANY single-use cups each week, especially in the Activity Center during Gym-Jam. Please bring a water bottle so we can be respectful to our church resources and cut down on our single-use waste.

Be on the lookout for new games!

• We are always open to new games and fun or unique variations on traditional favorites. If you see or hear of a game either from a friend, a different church or online, please save it and share the idea with Ryan!
