Sunday Morning Youth Formation

Youth Formation is meeting on Sunday mornings again for the school year. Youth are encouraged to be among the first members of the congregation to receive communion before going upstairs to the youth lounge for Formation. After taking a Sunday off for Labor Day, we will be back meeting on Sunday!
This week we will talk about the question "Is the Bible true?"

Dinners with Youth Leader, Jenna Parker
|
|
Dear St. Christopher’s Families,
I wanted to welcome you back to the program year for St. Christopher’s Youth. I, along with Lynn Ducat, Alison Tierney and Aaron Seitz make up the newly reformed Youth Design Team. We are thrilled to have Jenna Parker as our new Youth Minister and hope that you all have had a chance to say hi and meet her through the summer. Jenna would love the chance to get to the know each of the families who have youth ages 6th grade to 12th grade a bit better and has offered to come to family’s homes to share a meal with groups of two or three families at a time. If only one family is available on a date, that will work too! We think this will be a fantastic way for both our families as well as Jenna to really learn about our youth, get some ideas and make some connections.
In the link provided, please go on to the sign up genius to either sign up to host an evening, or attend an evening. Once you know who is hosting, please coordinate with that family to share the meal planning (getting any food allergies/preferences-Jenna is a vegetarian, although she does eat fish). The meal can be as easy as ordering pizza-this is really about getting to know one another better and starting the year off well! Please do not hesitate to be in touch with me if you have any questions!

Youth Performances, Games, and Extracurricular Events
|
|
Now that school has started, I would love to support the St. Christopher's Youth in their extracurricular events! If there is a performance, game, or other important showcase you would like me to attend, please let me know throughout the year with this form and I will do my best to be there.
Thank you,
Jenna
