Dear Fourth Church Youth and Parents,
A new year of youth ministry at Fourth Church is set to begin. This e-newsletter is filled with things to help you get ready.
Sunday morning youth groups begin on Sunday, September 10. These are really the best way to connect with the community of teenagers at Fourth Church who are growing in community and discipleship. Youth Choir is at 10:00 a.m., followed by a half-hour of communing over bagels for all youth at 10:30 a.m. Youth groups are at 11:00 a.m. There's a group for sixth- through seventh-graders and one for ninth- through twelfth-graders. There is also a Confirmation program for eighth-graders.
On Kickoff Sunday, September 10, we'll also have a picnic for all children and youth and their families. It will be in the courtyard following the 11:00 a.m. worship service. There will be food and a dunk tank. There will even be a service project--assembling snack packs for guests of the Chicago Lights Elam Davies Social Service Center.
In addition to Sunday youth groups, we have a very full calendar of events, trips, and retreats for Junior High (grades 6-8) and Senior High (grades 9-12) youth. We even have a mission trip for college students this year.
I hope you will reach out if you have questions about the youth program. I am easily reached by email
or by phone at 312.981.4037. Let me know if you have questions about the event calendar or Confirmation. If you have questions about the Junior High group, contact Katie Patterson.
Email Shelley Donaldson
if you want to know about Senior High. Choir questions go to Katy Sinclair.
This is going to be good. I hope you're excited too.
Yours,
Rocky Supinger
Associate Pastor for Youth Ministry
