F.I.S.H. Youth Group for Tweens
Starting in October!
FISH is a youth group that meets once a month for fourth and fifth grade students. It's an opportunity to build community through fun and fellowship and for Bible study. We learn about topics that are important to tweens - such as friendship, conflict, diversity, family, sibling rivalry, dealing with emotions, self-esteem, etc.
During the pandemic, we are still figuring out how to bring this program to all of our tweens. Some families are ready and wanting for their youth to meet in person, while others are still wanting to meet virtually. So, our meetings for the rest of 2020 will be a combination of both!
We will meet outside at church for those who are ready, wearing masks and staying socially distant, with lots of hand sanitizer! Each in person youth will partner with an at home youth (via cell phone) to play a game together. Then we will gather up for the Bible lesson (including both the in person kids and those at home through zoom).
Because of the logistics, it will be very important to RSVP that your youth plans to participate, so that we can make sure that we have the equipment we need and can partner people up! We are going to work hard to ensure that all of youth feel included, whether at home or in person.
Please keep in mind that all in person events are subject to change based on what happens with Covid in the weeks preceeding it. Our top priority is the safety and well being of our youth and their families, and we do not want to contribute to community spread.
Our first event will be Wednesday, October 14 at 6:30 pm.
Please RSVP by emailing me at Kim@ManchacaUMC.org. Let me know if your tween will join us in person or from home. We are going to have a scavenger hunt where an at home and in person youth will work together to figure out the clues and find the pieces of the puzzle, and then we will learn about what it means to be a good friend.
