Hi Friends,

Happy Thursday! It was so wonderful seeing so many of you at our Back to The Block celebration on Sunday. It was a joyful celebration and I hope it made all of you excited for the year ahead at All Saints!

Community is one of the cornerstones of youth ministry. Building a group of teens who love and support each other through the up's and down's of life and encourage each other on their faith journeys is so crucial as we create a loving and Christ-centered community.

I hope you, as a part of our youth community, will join us this Sunday in supporting our high school pilgrims during their Pilgrimage Presentation at 10:15am. Our pilgrims are excited to share their experiences from their journey to Greece and I hope you will be there to support them and learn about how life-giving this pilgrimage was for them.

I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!

Peace,

Hope

PARENT VOLUNTEER CORNER

As we get closer to our fall programming, which begins on September 11th, we wanted to start ensuring we have parent volunteers at a variety of our events! Volunteering for Y'All Saints Youth Ministry is something we hope all parents will participate in, in at least one way. This ranges from being a Sunday School teacher to providing a meal during SNL one night. Please think through how you would like to serve and respond via the link below!

Description of Opportunities:

• SNL Meal Volunteer: Providing a meal during one of our SNL nights for approximately 20 youth. This could be homemade, delivery, or catered...it would totally be up to you!
• Volunteering at SNL: Being an additional adult presence at one of our SNL nights. This would be a time commitment of 6pm-7:30pm on a Sunday night.
• Volunteering during Attic Invasion: Being an additional adult presence at one of our middle school Attic Invasions. This would be a time commitment of 7pm-9pm on a Friday night.
• Sunday School Teacher: This would be a September-May commitment to teaching each Sunday morning at 10:15am. This is a great way to get to know our youth and be an influential person in their faith life! Our classes are divided by 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, and high school
• High School Small Group Leader: High School small groups will meet once a month on Wednesday nights at 6pm. They will follow a small group guide with lots of great questions and conversation. We look forward to providing this new ministry for our high schoolers!
• Weekend Retreat Chaperone: Volunteering to drive youth and stay during one of our diocesan retreats at Camp Mikell! These always last from Friday night-Sunday afternoon.

We are so excited to have two new High School opportunities this year!

High School Small Group will be a once a month hybrid gathering on Wednesday evenings at 6pm. This will be an opportunity for our high schoolers to gather, wherever they are, for an hour of small group time, community, and growing in faith together. We know that schedules can be crazy, so we wanted to offer this as a hybrid model so youth can join on Zoom or in The Attic! We will be sending out a monthly email with our discussion topic, so please fill out the attached form so we can make sure you receive all information!

High School Small Group Registration

The Youth Leadership Council is a special opportunity to help lead and serve as a Y'All Saints high school student! Serving on the Youth Leadership Council is a one year commitment but will be a year full of getting to know the other council members, coming up with new and exciting ideas, and learning how to lead.
