Youth Schedule for the Summer

Sunday: High School Youth Activities (Games, meetups off site, general random summer fun) from 5-7 pm every week in the Youth Room unless previously announced. Incoming freshman and outgoing seniors are all welcome!

Monday: Middle School Youth Activities (Pretty much same as above, except with a short 20-30 min Bible study added to the end of each meeting) from 5-7 every week **Starting on June 20** in the youth room, unless previously announced. Incoming 6th graders and outgoing 8th graders are all welcome!

Wednesday: High School Bible Study. We'll start a series on the 7 Covenants of Scripture here in about 2 weeks. Parents and other adults are more than welcome to attend! Come to give your input or to learn more about Scripture. As a side note, I just want to share that I'm really big on making sure Catholics know their Bibles. When I was in college, I saw so many people leave the Church because their Protestant friends were better able to quote and use scripture. Let's make sure this doesn't happen in our families!

Thursday: Ultimate Frisbee and High School Movie Night.  We'll be playing Ultimate Frisbee starting at 5pm, then at 7 watching random, fun, scary, or whatever movies in the youth room. Popcorn and other snacks encouraged. Middle school students are welcome, but please be aware that some of the movies may be rated PG-13, and anyone younger than 13 should have a permission slip signed. Movies will always be over by 10pm.

Saturdays: We will be having an event at least every other Saturday. This past week, it was a Car Wash helping to raise funds for our trip to Creationfest. If you have any other ideas for fundraisers or a location that would be good for a car wash, please let me know! Next week, it will be the Young Women's Retreat. If you know of a young woman who would like to attend but hasn't registered yet, please pass along this form. Space is limited, so register ASAP!

Some other activities available to all:
1.) Adoration: My adoration hours are Monday at 11 a.m. and Thursday at noon. Anyone who would like to join me or learn more about adoration are welcome to show up.
2.) A few teens have expressed interest in meeting for daily mass at 8:30. If someone just wants people to sit with or someone to meet with coffee afterward, they are welcome to join us.
3.) A group of the young adults are starting a Swing Dancing club/group. We'll be meeting every Monday from 7-10 pm in Dillon Hall. The first hour will be a swing lesson, and then we'll just have some time to dance. EVERYONE (all ages, as long as they'll follow directions) is welcome, and it's totally free.
4.) I'm on the committee for this year's Theology on Tap. If you know anyone 21+ who might like to join us for a beer and some faith talk, give them my info and I'll make sure they get an invitation.
