| Middlers still have a few 2009 God's Creation calendars left, but you better hurry, they are going fast. Remember they are still only $7 each and support our Middler's activities. Half the proceeds go to a charity of the Youths choosing. Purchase a few for gifts. Just ask any middler for more info. | ||||

Senior High paint a mural
The Senior High youth spent the night on December 12th
and created yet another mural on the youth room walls. We stayed up way
too late, ate too much food, played lots of games, watched a movie, and
found time to paint the wall. Be sure to get a guided tour, just ask a
Senior High youth for assistance. |

| You prayed as they were born into this world, you prayed as they crawled around the church, you prayed as they snatched cookies before the coffee hour. You prayed as the were baptized, you prayed as they were being confirmed. You prayed when they participated in worship. Your prayers sustained them even when they thought no one cared. You were there! And for that reason alone you also have graduated. | ||||
|
||||
| The goal of our youth groups is to provide a safe place to gather with friends and soon to be friends. As a parent I realize the importance of having a place for to youth to relax and be themselves. | ||||
| Here at The United Churches we
believe in involving our youth as much as possible in their own youth
groups, by allowing them to have a voice in what is ultimately their own
lives. One of the many things I have come to appreciate about our youth
groups, is their ability to welcome newcomers into the fold. I believe that it to have healthy, nurturing adults we must start by allowing our youth to be nurturing as well, and our youth group does that, with God's help. So, please come join us. Please feel free to visit us at either youth group or call me with your questions: 943-1210 or email hippobmw@comcast.net Check the current Voice for more information about our activities.
