Greetings my fellow youth goers,

Coming up on Sunday will be a discussion in the youth room at 9:15 in the AM. We invite all senior high members to attend.

On Wednesday we will have a junior/senior high BBQ at 5:30. Both youth and parents are invited to attend. This is one of many great bonding experiences between the senior and junior high members that you won’t want to miss. Bethel (alright mostly Tom) is famous for our amazing BBQ. For all of our vegetarian homies we will be serving veggie burgers and such. Do not worry, you will not be judged for being a vegetarian. We ask that you bring 5 dollars to help pay for the food you devour.

And finally for those of you who miss the color added by former youth assistants, don’t worry we haven’t forgot about you.

Hope to see you all (yall) at our upcoming events

Jeff

Top of the morning to yall,

This upcoming Sunday we will either have a discussion in the youth room or we will be assisting in the Bethel carnival. Regardless of what we end of doing, we will meet at 9:30. As we are experts on both carnivals and discussions, it is a win win situation.

Over the years, some of us have had problems coming to church 9:30 before the service to gather with youths of a similar nature. If you are like me and happen to be one of the millions of Americans who is either tired in the morning or addicted to caffeine, I would recommend trying some of Bethel’s world class coffee. As a caffeine addict of several years, I often feel like staying home instead of having a wonderful time at church because I am not yet awake. But after seven or eight cups I am up, running and ready to start my day.

Before I start to ramble, this Wednesday we are meeting at Bethel at 5:30. We will start off this night by journeying to a TBD location to acquire some inexpensive food and the returning to church for a discussion. Bring ten dollars for food.

Tom has also asked me to reiterate that you are more than welcome, and in some cases encouraged, to bring your friends to church events. These include all Sunday morning and Wednesday night outings. We do not discriminate other religions and welcome them to come and hang out.

See yall Sunday,

Jeff
