Getting to Know Each Other
This month’s Dinner and Family Night was spent learning more about characters in the Bible, including Anna and Simeon. We also learned more about each other with a balloon popping game.
Balloons and Breakout
The January youth night was full of balloons and New Year’s resolutions followed by a slightly confusing Jesus Parables breakout game. Still, we had fun enjoying dinner and the evening together.
Save the Dates!
Parents' Night Out: March 8th
Parents, mark your calendars for a night out. The youth are once again holding a Parents’ Night Out where you can drop your kids off for an evening of fun. The event will be staffed by older youth attending the ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans this coming summer and their parents. Watch for a sign-up to come soon.
VBS: June 24-27th
Vacation Bible School will be held June 24-27th, 9:30-noon. All children ages Pre-K – 5th grade are invited (must be potty trained). We will be diving deep into friendship with God. Watch for registration to come out soon. If you have questions in the meantime, reach out to Christina Black.
