Our group has 6 members in it, ranging in age from 13-18. Our members learn about their faith, how their faith affects their daily lives and how to help others less fortunate than themselves. We have donated items to those in need at Christmas by working with Operation Christmas Child, volunteered at the Parkland CARES Food Pantry, held clothing drives, and volunteered at the Miracle League. Youth Group members become leaders and teachers at our Vacation Bible School. Over the last 13 years, we have attended the ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans in 2012 and 2024, Detroit in 2015, and Houston in 2018 and we went on our own trip to St. Louis in 2022. We look forward to attending the 2027 Youth Gathering in Minneapolis, MN!
On April 27, we hosted our Penny Party. We had 62 people in attendance and made a profit of $2,963.07! Thank you to everyone who donated food, money or items for the game. And a special thank you to those who came to play! We hope you had a great time!
On May 18, 4 youth members came to help build and create decorations for our True North VBS program. They made flowers, trees and an assortment of others items and we can’t wait to see them all over the church during VBS!
On June 9, 4 youth members helped to plant geraniums. With the youth, parents and other congregation members helping, it went very quickly. We hope the flowers bloom soon to get some beautiful colors around the church.
Our clothing drive ended on June 14. Thank you to everyone who donated and especially to everyone who helped us empty the room and load the truck. It was wet and heavy work, but we got it all done. We collected 6,421 pounds and we made a profit of $1,284.20!
Thank you for your support of the youth group. We are truly blessed to be a part of such a supportive and generous congregation!!
