Youth Group News for December 14
If your teen is still interested in going to Winterfest, January 16-18, there are still Registration forms available on the Youth Information Board in the Hallway! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING A CHAPERONE, PLEASE SIGN UP AS WELL!!! Winterfest-Arlington brings about 7,000 teenagers associated with the Churches of Christ together for a weekend of spiritual growth spurred on by times of worship, artists, well known speakers, concerts, acting groups, and comedians at the Arlington Convention Center!
If your teen has recent accomplishments, awards, or honors that have been recently bestowed upon them, please let me know so we can begin featuring our teens and their accomplishments in a special segment of the Youth Group News!
Tonight’s Youth Group Small Groups will be from 5:30 – 8:00 pm. Junior High will be at the Bittle’s, Senior High will be at the Farmer’s. Guys bring a treat that is salty; Ladies bring a treat that is sweet!
The Youth Group Christmas Party will be Dec. 19th from 6:00 – 10:00 pm at the Collier’s home. Mike and LuAnn Farmer have volunteered to provide the main dish, but we still need all of the parents to provide additional food items and desserts. There is a sign up sheet for food items on the Youth Info Board across from the water fountain. Each teen needs to bring a $5 or less “White Elephant” gift for the gift exchange.
Teens are encouraged to help with the Christmas Musical, The Most Inconvenient Christmas. If you are able to help with set design and building, or would like to have a bit part in the musical, contact Greg or Cheryl Stites immediately.
Check in weekly with the BLOG, setup especially for parents of 6th-12th students at Arlington Heights: www.ahyouthparents.blogpsot.com
The youth calendar that goes through the end of the year is still available in the Kiosk located in the foyer. Please pick one up if you haven’t already!
“According to his critics, Jesus ‘did God’ all wrong. He went to the wrong places, said the wrong things, and worst of all, let just anyone into the kingdom. Jesus scandalized an intimidating, elitist, country-club religion by opening membership in the spiritual life to those who had been denied it. What made people furious was Jesus’ ‘irresponsible’ habit of throwing open the doors of his love to the whosoevers, the just-any-ones, and the not-a-chancers like you and me.”
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”
