First Youth Group of the Year: September 11th
We will meet for our first youth group on Friday September 11th from 7—10 PM @ Willowlake. Pizza is on the menu, so bring $2 to help offset the cost a bit! Food is always a good way to help kick things off and it’s a good way to convince your friends to come to something! Think about inviting a friend, and don’t worry about first timers having to pay; well take care of them!
We’ll also have a few volunteers helping out this year and some of them will be on hand to help us kick off the year in fun!
Spotlight
The Youth Blog & Calendar is updated and will be our main source of communication again this year! Make it your home page and pay close attention to the calendar and new posts. Once you get used to it you’ll wonder how we ever functioned without it!
What is the point of Willowlake Youth Group?
Seriously. What is the point of youth? This is something I would like us to think about over the next week and a half. Talk about it with your family. Do we want to be equipped to evangelize to friends and strangers? Do we want to take a more missional approach, helping others in need more often? Do we want to dig deeper in issues like “being in the world, but not of it”?
Direction is key to running any group successfully, so it’s time we pull out our compass and try and figure out where we are going! We’ll discuss our thoughts over the first night of youth and likely continue the discussion for a while. Your opinion matters!
Youth Blog & Calendar
Like the “Spotlight” above states, the BLOG will be your main source of info for all things youth group this year! Please get into the habit of checking it often; I want to see that stats counter moving up and up! The calendar at the top of the blog gives you months in advance notice of what will be happening with the group. Things like October’s Youth Retreat at Winkler Bible Camp are already on the calendar. Explore the different viewing options available on the calendar by clicking the different tabs (“week”, “month”, “agenda”) and see which works best for you. You can click on events to get a pop-up that gives more info on the event.
