We’re creating a PostSecret wall. If you don’t know what that is check out this site:

www.postsecret.com

PostSecret is a therapeutic exercise that allows us to send in our secrets anonymously to have some way of getting them out. There will be a box in which we can drop postcards decorated with our secrets. They will go up on our new “share” wall which was made by your lovely youth assistants Michael, Tyler, Hannah, Megan. Please feel free to drop off your burdens anytime and contact any of the youth assistants if you have questions.

Some ground rules for PostSecrets:

Please no profanity or nudity.

Thank you!

P.S. There share wall can also be used for any other announcements (basketball games, choir concerts) you’d like to share.

IT’S AT 6:15!!

Time to break out your picnic baskets!!

Cuz it’s time for the annual Shoreline Picnic! This Wednesday we will meet at Bethel at 5:30 and head over to Togo’s for some awesome picnic food. You can bring a sack lunch as well. In the future (Wednesday, 9/21) we will have a discussion about NOW drawing on experiences from the past to improve our future as a youth group all the while focusing on what we can do NOW to make that happen.

Hope to see you all there,

the two, awesome, male, youth assistants

(also thanks to hannah and megan for motivating us to write this post)

PLEASE,

Join us this Sunday as we brainstorm about what we want to learn about this year in Sunday School. YOU HAVE THE POWER! We can have a GREAT year learning about interesting things that actually pertain to us…or…we can learn about Leviticus. IT’S ALL UP TO YOU!! (But if you want to learn about Leviticus that’s fine too) So please c’mon down to the Youth Room at 9:15am so we can plan what will be a fun and stimulating year.

Love,

Your lovely Youth Assistants

P.S. Amanda Boniface (Children’s Ministry Coordinator) would LOVE if we could have even MORE youth helping to lead Kid Connection Openings. (Tyler would really love it too) We had an excellent time last time so if you are at ALL interested please hit Tyler up via phone (408-202-5570) or facebook and he’ll fill you in on the details. It’s SUPER EASY and GREAT FUN so there really should be no reason why you wouldn’t want to do it

Hello my beautiful cherubs.

Please accept this cordial invitation to join Tom, Michael, Megan, Hannah, Molly, Marianne, Susan, Robyn, Jeanine, Carol and me as we gear up for this coming year. We will be having dinner at 6. Dinner will be followed by a presentation about all the upcoming events for this year. This includes information about Wildside (6th, 7th and 8th Fellowship), Confirmation (7th and 8th Classes), Affirmation of Baptism (9th grade Confirmation), Wednesday night Fellowship (Sr. High), Ski trip (Sr. High), Common Ground (Sr. High), Mission to Mexico (Sr. High), and the National Youth Gathering (Sr. High). It’s all very confusing, I know, but that is why were are having this meeting. To make sure Michael doesn’t end up getting Confirmed again (even if he may need it) and to make sure Erin doesn’t end up having a discussion on the stresses of college apps (even if the saying is the earlier the better).

Anyway, all students (6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th) please bring all parental/other guardian type units (moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, fairy godmothers, etc.) and join us for an exciting informational meeting filled with hamburgers, hotdogs, games and a wonderful introduction to NOW.

Love,

Your lovely youth assistants,

Tyler, Megan, Michael, Hannah

P.S. RSVP to Tom by calling Bethel at 408-252-8500 X113 or by sending an email to to----@------.net

Hi guys!!

This upcoming wednesday we will be brainstorming about ideas for the year!! We’ll be talking about Wednesday night activities, service projects and discussions to Sunday School topics and deciding whether or not we want to do Common Ground again (cuz, you know, its the most boring event of the year *sarcasm*). So please, calling all high schoolers, EVEN OUR NEWEST CHERUBS, the freshmen. But please only come if you have a brain stuffed full of ideas (that comes with a BIG, FAT JK, cuz my brain’s as empty as the US’s bank account and I will most certainly be there).

This is YOUR program and we need YOU GUYS to help shape it, so PLEASE join me as we plan a most wonderful new year

More logistical details to come. Stay tuned.

Love,

Your lovely youth assistant,

Tyler

P.S. Make sure to sign up for LABOR DAY RETREAT this weekend, it’ll be a BLAST! Please talk to any of the youth assistants, Tom, or Molly if you have any questions about registration.
