Groups, Action and a Retreat

Family groups
Just a couple of things regarding UY family groups as we move forward.

  • The first UY family group gathering will be next Sunday, September 10.  Those of you who signed up, I will be sending a separate email with the details about that first gathering at the beginning of next week.
  • If you signed up for a different group but your teen still wants to be a part of the the teen side of things, that is absolutely ok, they can join us! We just want everyone to be connected to a group somewhere.  

Sunday Night Action Team Meeting. - 6:00pm - Youth Area 
In class we have been talking about what it looks like for each teen to step forward in their walk with Christ as well as the different ways they can lead and serve.  As an effort to give them more opportunities to invest in this youth group and church we are developing “action teams”.  This is just a simple way to provide an avenue to put them on a path of service and leadership.  Sunday night we will have our first “Action Team” meeting.  If they have been here, they know what this is and if its something they want to be a part of.  Ill be sending them all a text letting them know about the meeting but just wanted to let you as parents understand whats going on.  


Upcoming Events
Next week I will be rolling out a full schedule of all thats will be going on but wanted to go ahead and get the retreat out there.  


Retreat - November 3-5 - Springville camp and conference center in Odenville, AL - $65
