If you’re reading this, I have survived my first trip to camp (as an adult) and my first youth week. I’ve also been getting to know the students in our youth group over the last few weeks, and if you don’t know how amazing they are, you’re missing out. They are smart, caring, creative, enthusiastic, and I am so excited to see what God is going to do in and through our group during the fall semester! We are going to be finishing the summer by going on our mission trip August 1st through the 5th. If you have a moment to pray over our group and the people we are meeting this week, we would really appreciate it. We will resume our weekly meetings the first week of school, starting with UMYF on Sunday night, August 13th! Youth Bible Study and Praise band will start that Wednesday, August 16th, and we’re already gearing up for our annual Fall Retreat in September. Maybe I’ll have figured out how to play 9 Square by then…

If you are a middle or high school student, we would love to have you at any of our weekly meetings and there’s still time to sign up for Fall Retreat!
