CHILDREN AND YOUTH NEWS.....from Danielle Vogel  

Children’s Church will be offered on the

 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month during the school year.

This will be offered during the sermon time following the children’s message.

Children’s Church is open to children in preschool through third grade.

 

Youth News:

SuperNight will be February 24-25. This fun lock-in is hosted by the Rochester Area Youth For Christ.  Cost is 30 dollars per youth attending.  Youth in 6th grade are required to have 1 chaperone per 3 youth and must remain in the same building as their chaperone at all times. Older youth require 1 chaperone per 6 youth. If you are interested in attending or chaperoning, or driving the van, please see Danielle for details.

       (Van drivers do not need to stay at the event all evening.)

 There are some Cookie Sundays available for mission trip fundraisers. Please check the book if you are interested in working and please let Danielle know, so that we do not have too many   families working each cookie Sunday. Families should be prepared to bring 3 dozen treats. We do need help with dishes in the kitchen during these days as well.

Please turn in your Mission Trip forms and 30 dollar deposit ASAP! Spots will not be finalized until deposits are received!

 We will be starting Gallons for Giving, our annual Mission trip Gas Money drive, on February 4th. If your youth would like to sign up to work the donation table, please let Danielle know!

 Faith Activity to do at home as a family!

We are ending Epiphany, and heading towards Lent. Have a family discussion about a long trip you may have taken, and what you may have seen on the journey. Did you attend a different church while you were away? How were the people and places different than home? Both the Wiseman and Jesus traveled away from home, with the Wiseman encountering Herod, and Jesus ministering to many on the way!
