"Top 10 Reasons Why We Don't See You in Sunday School"
Word from Your Youth Director: Whether you are a member of First Presbyterian or not, whether you are a Christian or someone seeking relationships and laughter come see what the youth program is about. There is a wide variety of people here and we would love to have you as part of the family. With Hope, Junior High Youth NEW! This year Junior High meets not only Wednesday Nights but Sunday night as well. Sunday Night we meet for dinner at 6pm, then after the meal we have study time. Are you finding it difficult to read those big words, or those weird names, or what things mean? If you are curious and want to know how to read scripture with a little more understanding and confidence join us in our discovery of what the Bible has to offer. Sue Hadley is leading this group and is learning just as much as she is teaching. Wednesday Night we are meeting after Fellowship Dinner time watching 36 Parables, a series of “modern-day” parables. We will also have time to enjoy other opportunities. Sunday Night we meet for dinner at 6pm, then after the meal we have study time. Volunteers provide dinner at the Church when we eat in. This is a time of bonding as a group, laughing, and just hanging out. I would like to thank those who graciously furnish the meals. We have the pleasure of Beverly Upthegrove being the teacher for our senior high. We are starting the Purpose-Driven program with the youth this year and getting them to think about what it means to really have a purpose within the church and community. NEW! We are meeting also on Wednesday Night. Learning about word vs. world and what responses Christians have to what is happening around the world. Last year they took a mission trip to Eagle Ranch. About fifteen attended. When they returned, the youth were very enthusiastic. If you have not heard one of their amazing stories, take the time to ask about their experience of genuine human compassion and Christian love. We are looking for new adventures for our mission trip for Summer 2010. Projects will be supplemented through various fundraisers, including silent auction, bake sales, pie sales, and more.

The youth helps with VBS in the summer and also end the year by delivering Congregational Care baskets to shut-ins before Christmas.
