Middle School Sexuality Workshop
|
|
On April 10-12 United Methodist Certified Sexuality Educator
Robin Blakemore will join us for three days as we study,
share, and learn together than our sexuality is a gift from
God and our bodies a temple. This is chance to ask
(anonymously) some of the questions you might have but have
never been able to ask anyone.
The seminar includes five sessions for youth and two for
parents. The sessions run Thursday and Friday evenings
and Saturday morning and afternoon. Full time attendance
is required for all participants and each youth must have at
least one parent participate. The fee is $25 for a
family and the registration deadline is Monday, April 7.
The workshop's theme is best characterized as "abstinence
and information." Pamphlets and information
can be pre-viewed in the youth office.

High School Relationship Seminar
|
|
On April 18-19 Robin Blakemore returns to conduct the seminar
"Beyond the Birds and the Bees--A Look at Dating, Sex,
and God." In the seminar we will talk about dating,
intimacy, the media, and marriage, comparing what God has to
say about these things and what the world says about them. In
particular, it will help us reflect on how to make
God-honoring decisions about dating, waiting and mating.
There will be many games and activities as well as open
discussion in small group sessions. This is a
non-judgmental course and we will discuss any and all of your
questions.
The seminar will be Friday night 6-10pm and Saturday
from 11am to 2pm. To participate you must register
by Monday, April 14. The registration fee is $25 per
person. Parent attendance is not required.

rock star!

Confirmation Classes
|
| Converge
|
|
Converge:
What is it?
1.
meet: to reach the same point from different
directions
2. arrive at the same destination: to gather or meet at the
same
place
3. to gradually become less different
Converge
is our Sunday night Youth gathering for Middle and High School
students. We meet almost every Sunday from
5:30-7:30pm. Once a month we have Converge
"unplugged" where we go on an outing away from the
church such as bowling, putt-putt, etc. With students from 24
schools in our Youth group, this is the best way for us all to
meet together in the same place at the same time in order to
strive for the same goal (strengthening our faith)--hence the
name.
do your homework on Saturday and save your Sunday nights for
Converge--you'll be glad you did.

Summer Mission Trip
|
|
On June 7-13 the youth will be going to the Hinton Rural Life
Center in Haysville, North Carolina to bring hope and help to
rural families in the area.
The Hinton Center is a mission agency of the United
Methodist Church that creates opportunities for work teams to
experience the rich mountain culture, to serve others in
repairing or building homes with local families, and grow in
their understanding of faith and action. It is located
on 32 acres in the Appalachian Mountains and overlooks
beautiful Lake Chatuge.
The cost of the trip is $240 per person which includes room
and board, beautiful facilities, programs, tools and
materials, and a skilled staff member to assist us.
Construction experience is not necessary, just a willingness
to help those in need.
Contact Tony for details.
