Youth Group Report
March 10, 2009
The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper was successful and delicious! There are some talented chefs among the Youth. There was a good will offering of about $165.00 which Bobbi will submit to Thrivent for matching funds.
March 22 is scheduled for lunch and bowling after church, however I have a conflict – Mackenzie has an event at her college for parents. Would anyone be willing to take the kids that day? or would it be better to reschedule? Alternatively, I’m available on Saturday, March 21. Please let me know.
Wednesday, March 25 is the date for Youth to host the Lenten Soup Supper along with the Finance Committee. I’ll send a reminder e-mail to the Youth.
The scheduled date for our next Youth Spaghetti Dinner is April 24 from 4:30-7:00. I’ll have the signs updated and get them out early so we have good attendance. Hopefully, starting earlier in the evening will attract the families from Day Care.
Ministry for All Ages
Lutheran Night at the Senators
Bishop Hoover will throw out the first pitch at Lutheran Night with the Senators on May 1, 2009. Lutheran night benefits the Lutheran Camping Corporation Campership Fund. Tickets are $6-$2 of which goes to help Camp Nawakwa and Camp Kirchenwald. There is a ski cap give-a-way before the game and fireworks following the game. The Senators will be playing against the Reading Phillies. If you or a group from your congregation would like to attend, please contact Mac Simmons or call (717) 231-4444.
Lutheran Youth Day 2009 information: April 18 at Susquehanna University. It is for Youth in grades 6-12 and includes:
Large and small group gatherings exploring the theme “Let’s Celebrate!” High-energy music, skits and icebreakers by talented students during large group gatherings; Exploring faith and life in small groups with SU students who are committed Christians; Worship at the end of the afternoon; and A Concluding Concert by Jonathan Rundman!
The cost is only $10 per person, which includes lunch and the concert. (What a deal! But if that sum would prevent any of your youth from participating, please contact us. We can reduce or waive the fee for youth with financial need.) Also the SU’s Lutheran Student Movement is selling t-shirts for the day. The shirts MUST be ordered and paid for by April 6th. Shirts will not be for sale on April 18th. You can use the enclosed registration form to order these shirts.
Registration is from 9:00 ~ 9:45 a.m. with the opening session at 10 a.m., and the event ends at 5:30 p.m. All large group gatherings are in SU’s Stretansky Hall.
Camping information
Summer Camp Open House at Camp Nawakwa or Camp Kirchenwald on Sunday, March 29, or Sunday, April 19, from 2:00-4:30 PM, for 2009. There will be camp tours, a chance to meet summer staff, and a $10 gift certificate to the camp store for all NEW campers.
Some interesting information regarding camping – the TOTAL number of campers last summer at both Nawakwa and Kirchenwald was LESS than the number of kids that attended Winterfest in January. I think, as a Congregation, we should be proud of our camp attendance!
