Last month, Saint Timothy's saw young people from the Shared Lutheran Youth Ministry at its overnighter. Bethel (Jamestown) hosted the band Captive Free and saw youth from First and St. Timothy's in attendance, too. The first Conference Youth Ministries Team meeting was held to plan events and support each other. Each one of these events was better because churches "widened the circle" to include others. The events were more fun for the youth, and easier for the adults to pull off because of collaboration.
Get involved: Joint Neighborhood Project is doing something special for children and their families--and they need the help of Lutheran Youth to make it happen! At Santa’s Secret Shoppe, children from low-income families will “shop” for donated gifts for parents and other significant adults in their lives. Lutheran Youth in grades 7 and up are needed to accompany children through the shoppe, help them select gifts, and wrap presents. It is a practical way to demonstrate the love of Jesus around the conference. And it’s pretty fun, too! The Conference Youth Ministry Team will show you what to do, plus spring for pizza afterwards! It's happening Saturday, December 10 from 8:30 am - 1 pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 556 East Second St., Jamestown. Please RSVP to Ian.
Get inspired: We had 94 hits the first month to our new website—a promising start. We're committed to making it the "go to" place to keep informed about the many exciting events for youth happening around the conference, like Youth Quake and the Senior High Winter Retreat at LCLC.
