Superbowl Bash - This Sunday - Teen Area
Kick-off is at 5:30pm so get there just before that or whenever you please.  Im not going to do a sign-up for food, let’s just all commit to bringing some delicious food you think everyone would enjoy and have a great time together feasting and watching.  Again this is for the all UY and Families!

Tonight
Teens will gather at 6:00pm tonight to continue our alpha series we started last week.  I really do think this series is going to be a great thing to make us all think about some things we should always be thinking about but often don’t.  I do hope your teen can make it!

Spring Retreat - April 26-28

Ill hold off on sign-ups for this but I wanted to go ahead and get the dates out there.  We will be going to Temple, GA to Woodland Christian camp and retreat center.

Lead, Alpha, Family and Food

Pray for our Leadership Retreat
A solid group of 10th, 11th and 12th graders will be leaving this Friday for our leadership retreat.  Please pray that God use the time we have to shape and develop the direction of our youth group as well as the leadership potential within those attending.  

Wednesday Night Alpha Series
Next Wednesday, January 23 the teens will be starting a 10 week series called the Alpha series.  It’s designed to make them think about their faith through facilitating discussion about it, as well as equip them to better share their faith.  If there is any space for you to encourage your teen to be a part of it, then please do so!

Family Group this Semester
We’ll have a bit of a rocky start for various reasons but will hopefully settle in to a steady routine by February.  We will follow the same format as last semester and meet in homes on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month to share a meal together and meet at the building on the 2nd and 4th weeks for discussion.  The month of March will look slightly different with 5 Sundays and spring break to rattle things around.  If you would be willing to host one of the family meals in your home click HERE to do so.  Below is a snapshot of what to expect on Sunday nights for the month of January.  

Jan 6 - No family group but “Hang Night” for teens at the building
Jan 13 - Discussion at the building
Jan 20 - No Family Group (leadership retreat)

Jan 27 - Family Group Training - This is something all family groups will participate in at the building that night… more info to come.
