JUNIOR HIGH - HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH
A Christ Centered and Service Oriented Youth Group
A Place for Fun and Fellowship
Our newly restructured youth program is organized and run by parent volunteers. Our goal is to help our youth develop spiritually by focusing on community activities and outreach. We also offer activities that encourage Christian fun and fellowship.
YOUTH PARENTS
Parents are encouraged to join us at our Parent Meetings to share ideas for fun and fellowship, outreach and fundraiser activities. We meet every two weeks on Monday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Youth House. Click on our S.P.Y. link for our upcoming schedule. We look forward to meeting with you, sharing your ideas and help you coordinate an activity for our youth.

HIGH SCHOOL 2010 YOUTH GATHERING - NEW ORLEANS
There are twelve youth, and three adult chaperones, who have made the commitment to attend the 2010 LCMS National High School Youth Gathering as representatives of St. Paul's. Please continue to lift each of them in prayer as they focus on preparations for next summer.
SUPPORT OUR YOUTH - 2010 YOUTH GATHERING FUNDRAISERS
Please continue to look for our fundraisers to help the youth pay for their trip to New Orleans. Find the latest information on these opportunities in our weekly Sunday Epistle, bulletin handouts and flyers, and in the SON newletter (click on to our Resources page and open Publications, Documents and Forms). You are also invited to stop by and visit our 2010 High School Youth Gathering bulletin board (located in the church overflow area - see further information below) and learn how to become a Youth Sponsor.
2010 LCMS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GATHERING SPONSOR
Please help send our youth to the 2010 High School Youth Gathering event and become a Youth Sponsor! To learn more please visit the bulletin board in the church overflow area for details of how you can help our youth pay for some of the expenses of this event. The costs for each youth are about $900 for this trip. From airfare (about $200), to hotel (almost $400 per person, per room for the stay - 3 to 4 in a room), to registration costs ($175), plus meals, they have a lot of expenses to cover. You can take the symbol with the "value" on it as a reminder of your donation.
