Youth Leadership School
For High School Youth having completed grade

Youth Groups and Special
Events
To encourage a sense
of belonging to our Church family, our youth are given opportunities
to participate in the annual Christmas program and other special
events: the giving tree, special projects for shut-ins, and special
music during the church services. A children's sermon is offered to
the little ones during our regular church service, and the older
youth assist as ushers, acolytes and lectors.
Although much of the education
is provided within our church home, youth group activities and
special events involving all congregational ages are held on a
regular basis.
Formal First Communion Preparation if
offered in the fall or spring, as the children become ready.
Activities outside the church
such as a fall hayride, bowling, ice skating, sleighing and swimming
parties, provide an atmosphere of celebration and sense of belonging
for young and old alike.
In 2006, 26 campers were registered to attend
Fortune Lake Bible summer camp. Scholarships are available.
High School week is July 30th, 2006.
Women & Kids week is June 18-23, 2006.
Our junior and senior youth
groups provide additional avenues for reaching out to our youth.
Some of the activities available include one-week camping events
held at the
Fortune Lake Bible Camp in
Crystal Falls, other
camping experiences and special retreats, youth gatherings,
leadership schools, service projects, such as those to the annual
Holiday Youth Congress in Green Bay. A summer confirmation trip is
taken when there is interest, visiting places such
as Sky Ranch in Colorado
and Outlaw Ranch
in South Dakota and more.
