ALL YOUTH SUMMER ACTIVITIES

Look out for more fun summer activities to be announced in the next month. We'll be having all youth movie nights & pool parties. We'll take a couple of trips to baseball games and to Six Flags. And there will be a lock-in or two for the middle school students as well! 

Hello!  

There's a lot going on in the life of St. Andrew's Youth Ministry and we want to keep you informed and updated. Here's all the good stuff you need to know about Senior High (CREW) and Middle School (element). Check it out!  
 
YOUTH SPRING EVENTS
REMINDER: Senior Appreciation Dinner This Sunday Night!
See that look on Megan's face?!?! Shock and disbelief that her senior appreciation dinner has finally arrived. We hope you'll show her and the other seniors how much we love and appreciate them by attending this Sunday, May 4th at 5:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Be part of this great celebration of their lives and achievements. Dinner is provided and a short program will follow to send them off to the new opportunities awaiting them. We hope to see you then!
 
Confirmation Sunday
Sunday, May 11th is Confirmation Sunday! Come support our wonderful class of confirmands at the 10:50 worship service as we celebrate their faith journeys and officially welcome them as members of St. Andrew. There will be a reception held for them in the Narthex immediately following the service.

Join us on Sunday, May 18th after worship for our annual Youth Mission BBQ on the front lawn of St. Andrew!
 
 
Do these guys look like they're just messing around?!?!Probably...but the Youth BBQ is certainly their favorite day of the year! They told me so. Come reap the benefits of their mighty skills and hard work (fabulous smoked brisket and sausage).

There will be plenty of other good stuff as well including baked goods, face-painting, games and a bounce house for kids, music, and more! Can't stay long? Don't sweat it...we'll even have to-go containers! All donations help send our senior high youth on a mission trip to Puerto Rico this summer. 
Everyone going on the Puerto Rico trip is expected to come help out starting at 9:15 a.m.
 
CREW SUMMER TRIPS
