Happy New Year to you and your family! May it be filled with God's best for you all.
First of all, I want to extend my sincere appreciation for everyone's patience during this transition in the Youth Department. Our Youth Board members are in the process of planning the event calendar for this coming year.
I am happy to report that we have a Bible Study for students which is starting on January 8. It's a time of study, worship and an opportunity to get to know God and other students. Jr. High students will meet at 9:30am in TLS' Science Room under the direction of Mr. Al Berg. Our Sr. High students will meet at 11:00am in the Conference Room under the direction of Ms. Katrina Kloess. We hope your child will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to grow in the Word and in their faith.
Youth Group is returning to Wednesday nights starting February 1. Jr. & Sr. High students will meet every Wednesday night from 7:00-8:30pm. We hope to see your child there!
A Service Opportunity is offered on February 11 to Aurora for FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN. It's a non-profit Christian organization which hand-packs meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. These packages are delivered to nearly 70 countries in the world. For more information please visit the Service Opportunities page.
The first Mission Trip meeting with students and parents has been scheduled for Sunday, March 4, 2012 at Noon in the school gym. You can download a copy of the mailing on the Parent's page. The Sr. High Mission Trip to Kokomo, IN is scheduled for July 8 thru July 13, 2012.
We haven't forgotten about our Jr. High students. Plans are in the works. We will keep you posted!
*****************************************************
Some events and times may be subject to change so we do encourage you to keep up-to-date by visiting this site or checking the Youth section of the bulletin. Please feel free to download a Youth Calendar too for a reference. If you're interested in attending an event we do ask that you sign up. It allows the Youth Department to know how many volunteers need to be scheduled and food required. Thank you!
Permission forms are required and can be downloaded at the top of the Jr. High, Sr. High, Service Opportunity and Parent's pages. A suggestion parents: Why not complete the form and use it as a master? Copies can be made from it for future use. (The only exception will be if there are special events which require more forms and that will be denoted in the content box.) If you could possibly turn in forms as soon as sign ups are made, it would be greatly appreciated and help us out.
Remember, if you need anything we're here for you.
Questions? Please contact Patti Fulmer in the Youth Department at 708 532-9395 x228 or email pfulmer@tlcs.org.
