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

(who assist the youth)

Hannah, Megan, Michael, Tyler

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

Hello Ladies!

As some of you have probably heard, Saturday Sept. 24th will be a sea side escape for women of all ages. This is a day retreat where you can go to rejuvenate and refill your life with God’s presence. It should be a wonderful experience and all women of all ages are welcome to come and worship this day. It will be from 9-4 and it costs $35. Sign up quickly though because as of Sept. 12, prices will rise to $42. It’s going to be a wonderful experience. If you have any questions, contact Rita or Pr. Gabi.

If you can’t make it tonight, please email me at to----@------.net to let me know if you will be joining us and if you will be traveling with us by bus, or flying. Should be a great trip!!!
Peace, Tom

Hi friends,
Just a little comment on Tyler’s AWESOME POST in the middle of the night last night. I’ve been getting some nervous questions about the future of Common Ground. It is alive and well and we’ll be ramping up plans this fall. While Rita can not be replaced, the spirit of Common Ground goes on and I know God has great things in store for 2012. Keep posted
Peace, Tom

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.

This wednesday we will be having the common ground movie night . Come at  5:30  to the youth room  and bring $5 for dinner . We would  love to see all of the common grounders there (and everyone else too :]) to remember  all the fun we had on tour!

                                                                   Love,
