Senior High

Our Mission Statement

Our Senior High Youth meet on Sunday evenings from 6-8 p.m. We gather together to share in Christian fellowship, Bible study and service projects. Our purpose is to grow in appreciation for each other and to grow in our relationship with God. Service projects are an important part of this growth. We try to offer several projects each year and each summer we do a weeklong Mission Trip.  Our youth have been to New York City, Texas, Kentucky, & Chicago. Additional opportunities for youth are our Presbytery-wide Retreats offered two times a year, an annual ski trip to Minnesota, lock-ins, leading worship twice a year, and many other things.


SENIOR HIGH YOUTH 2008 SCHEDULE

YOUTH HAPPENINGS!

Wow, it has been awhile since I last checked in and much has happened with youth ministry during that time!  Most recently, I had the privilege of traveling with Doug Kohlsdorf to many an open house for our awesome seniors!  I always enjoy seeing baby pictures and mementos, and continue to be impressed by the faith and attitude of our seniors (and all our youth, for that matter!).  The seniors lead with their spirit, and I know that God will be glorified as they continue their journey with Him.  Congratulations, seniors!!

Both junior and senior high-ers rolled up their sleeves and tackled some spring cleaning projects around the church during youth group time in April and May.  They did efficient and thorough work as they cleaned all around APC; thank you, youth!

Senior High small groups wrapped up at the beginning of May, and I consider myself blessed to have visited each group since my start as interim youth director.  Thank you Brandon, Sarah, Duane, Kelly, Tom, Lee Anne, Mary, and Joe for your leadership and example; the youth look up to you and have built strong relationships in their small groups diving into the Word.  While I am thanking people, I cannot forget the awesome leaders of Junior High who have been working tirelessly for the Junior High mission trip coming up in June.  Scott Hamilton did an outstanding job putting together a mission trip website.  Check it out at www.t182.org.  The other leaders have been putting in lots of time as well getting ready; I know that the youth will have an amazing God-driven experience with these wonderful leaders of Christ.

The congregation, the youth volunteers, our church leaders, and the youth themselves continue to affirm and support both this ministry and me.  I leave you with a verse that sums up the feelings of my heart: “This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God…Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” – II Cor. 9:12, 15.         ~ Mallory
