Youth Ministry
Connect, study, serve, and have fun!
Join us next Sunday!
We have a couple of changes coming up over the next 2 Sundays! We are back in person for youth group at 5.15 pm, and then on the 21st Sunday School moves to 9.30 am as Reveille resumes in-person worship at 11 am from that Sunday.

For both Confirmation and Youth Group this Sunday we do need everyone to sign up ahead of time on the Signup Genius. Signups close at 4 pm on Friday afternoon each week. Please make sure you read the wet weather plan on the Signup as well.

Looking ahead to this summer, please take a moment to complete this survey about your comfort levels for mission trip possibilities in July.

Here's this Sunday's schedule.

10 am - Sunday School, Zoom only - we'll be continuing a new series this Sunday, looking at some of the parables that appear in Godspell Junior.

5.00 pm - Confirmation, in the Middle School room and via Zoom

5.15 pm - Youth Group, outside, not available via Zoom.

Sunday School and Confirmation will be using the same Zoom link.

Ongoing Zoom youth ministry options

As we move towards a more in-person youth activities set-up I'm aware that not everyone feels comfortable with being in-person yet for different reasons, and so wherever possible we will continue to offer online and/or hybrid groups. For the foreseeable future there will be at least one online youth gathering and one in-person youth gathering each Sunday, Sunday School and Youth Group respectively. When it is possible to offer a group in hybrid form, we will, but this is more difficult outside. Looking ahead to September, I am keen to maintain an online only class/group/gathering option for anyone who would like to avail of it in addition to our in-person gatherings as well as offering as much as possible in a hybrid format.
Youth Music Ensembles

Daniel and Tam Tam are really excited about the return of two in-person music ensembles on Sunday! We have really missed the experience of making music at the church. Here is the schedule for the next three Sundays:

4:00 - 4:30 Strings Ensemble (Sanctuary)
4:30 - 5:15 Youth Musical (The Quad)

As Andy mentioned above, please be sure to register here for all youth activities that you are in each week that we have them, so that we can prepare accordingly.

In case you missed the sad news last week, we made the unfortunate decision to postpone the return of youth handbell rehearsals until the fall since we are still limited to 10 people indoors. Both the logistics and the necessary splitting of ringers would make it too significant a hurdle to cross for the time being. Even so, please know that this decision was not made lightly. Tamara and all of us recognize how important handbells is to our youth music ministry, and we are very eager to resume this ensemble when the indoor gathering restriction allows us to.
Godspell Updates

The time has finally come! It's time to take what we've learned virtually and start bringing the show to life out on the quad on the back side of the church's campus. Please arrive a little early, so that we can begin rehearsing outside right at 4:30. You will be equipped with a performance mask to take home soon, but for this week, please wear your own tight-fitting mask.

Please continue to check the master schedule each week, along with the resources found here. Everyone needs to be listening to the songs outside of rehearsal in order to more fully learn them, and we are asking for everyone to also begin watching and internalizing the group choreography clips in advance of our in-person rehearsals. On Sunday, everyone will also be asked to sign up for a separate time next week when you will deliver your lines and solos from memory in order to make sure that all of our cast is "off book" in time for rehearsal on the following Sunday.
