Youth Announcements - January 7th

Hi everyone!

This week our schedule officially returns to normal!

This Wednesday, our SR. EYC will meet at 7pm.  Dinner starts at 6:15pm and is barbeque pork for $5 if anyone would like me to sign them up for that. 

Sunday School and JR. EYC will meet on Sunday at 10am and 5pm.  I do not have anyone signed up to feed the JR. EYC on Sunday night if anyone is available, please let me know.

Other Announcements:

• The Extension - I will be sending out an email later in the week about our extension night scheduled for next Friday January the 18th.  Please be on the look out for that.
• JR. EYCers - Please let me know if you would be interested in attending a super bowl party here at the church on February 3rd beginning at 6pm until half-time.  I'm trying to get a head count to see if this is something we want to do.
• Confirmation -   Youth confirmation classes will be offered, once again, beginning on Sunday, January 27th from 4—5 pm for those in the 10th grade and above. Working toward the sacramental right of confirmation, these classes will help youth to explore what they do and do not believe and why. We will engage topics in a lively manner striving for a deeper understanding of Christian community and personal Christian identity. Interested in signing up or want more information? Talk to Lauren.  

 
TEAM TRIVIA NIGHT - Please plan on attending and bring your friends!
Date: January 26th
Set-Up: 5:30pm

Diocesan Events:

• New Beginnings (6-8th grades) February 15-17 at Camp Mikell.  New Beginnings is a weekend especially designed to respond to the issues, concerns, and needs of teenagers in middle school.  It was created to help young people grow in their love of themselves, of others, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The cost of the weekend is $100 and the deadline to apply is February 10. Interested in serving on the New Beginnings Team?  The deadline to apply is January 27. 
  
  
• Happpening (10-12th grades) February 22-24 at Camp Mikell.  Happening is not a new form of spirituality, nor is it another weekend retreat.  It is a personal encounter with the living Christ, as expressed in the tradition of the Episcopal Church.  Throughout the weekend, Happeners work and play, sing, share, pray and worship.  The cost for the weekend is $100 and the deadline to apply is February 10th.  For more info or to register for either of these events visit the youth bulletin board across from the nursery. 
  

Volunteers Needed - Do you like to work with teenagers, teach, or maybe even play games while also learning about God in the process? Then we need you as a volunteer!! We are looking for youth mentors to assist at our EYC meetings on Sunday or Wednesday evenings (approximately 1 ½ hours) and Sunday School classes. Your assistance will have a lasting impact on the youth at St. Teresa’s. Please contact Lauren at the church office (770) 590.9040 or email lauren.wainwright@hotmail.com for more information or to sign up.
