September Wrap Up & October Schedule

September has been a great month for our Youth Group!

The Jr. Youth are very motivated, excited, and ready to get things started! I'm very happy to be working with them. They even enjoy youth group so much, that they have decided to meet twice a month, rather than just once a month! We worked on the Haunted House at our last meeting, sorting through all the props and decorations, as well as planning what each room will be in the Haunted House. We'll have a maze, a cemetary, and a witch's laboratory. Awesome job, everyone!

The Sr. Youth Group is lacking members! We're going to try to meet again in October and see where that takes us. We've been trying to think of ways to get other youth involved, but we seem to be oblivious as to what the answer is! We thought that going on a shopping trip with the Sr. Youth to buy decorations and supplies for the Youth Room would get some youth excited... So we'll try it in October!

Our meetings for October look like this:

Sun., Oct. 4th - Jr. Youth Meeting - 4th through 8th grades - 11am to 2pm
We'll be making baked goods together to help raise money for the church roof, we'll have a group discussion about forgiveness and sin, and do all the normal things we do at a meeting, too. Don't forget that we'll have lunch together, too!

Sun., Oct. 18th - Sr. Youth Meeting - 8th through 12th grades - 11am to 2pm
We'll be taking a trip to get decorations for the Youth Room, as well as supplies, and maybe fabric to cover pillows and furniture with. We're hoping for new, fresh ideas to make the Youth Room YOUR space! Bring your friends! We'll have lunch together before we leave, so don't eat before you come!

Fri., Oct. 23rd - Haunted House Set Up - After school to about 6:30pm
Bring your friends, family, siblings... Whoever you can! We need many hands to help transform the Fellowship Hall into our 6th Annual Haunted House!! If you think you'll get hungry in that time period, please bring something to eat, or cash to get something.

Sat., Oct. 24th - Haunted House - 9am to 4:30pm
This is it!! Wear dark clothes and shoes, long sleeves and long pants... We'll be putting on a Haunted House! We need help with the music, the props, the costumes, and running the Haunted House. Bring your friends - but be sure they are there at 9am! If they miss the training and practice runs, they won't be able to help! Make sure you plan to stay until 4:30 to help clean up, too. Lunch will be provided for everyone who helps. If you want to invite people to walk through the Haunted House, it's open from 10am to 3pm and costs $3/person!
