Lent already, indeed! It’s a special time in our church calendar, and a very special time for the Youth Group Ministry! Check out all of the great things we have coming your way, and plan to attend them all!
February 17 – Ash Wednesday Bible Study and Taize
Join us for an active bible study about this important day (and these important 40 days!). We’ll talk about why Lent exists by playing a game, looking at the Good Book, creating masks, and more. At 7:00, we’ll join the entire congregation for a special Taize service.
February 24 – Abundant Life
The first Wednesday with our new ‘curriculum.’ This week, we’ll talk about what it means to have an ‘abundant life’ full of great things – what it means for us (riches, looks, popularity) versus what it means for Jesus (eternal life, heavenly glory, unending love).
March 3 – Pretzels and Prayer Stations
Join us as we dive in to some pretzel-making fun. We’ll make this snack together as we talk about slowing down and being intentional about how we pray. While our pretzels bake, we’ll divide into our small groups to visit prayer stations set up in the church.
March 10 – Chili Supper Preparation
After a quick Wednesday night worship, we’ll make sure we’re on track to host one heck of an event.
March 14 (Sunday) – Chili Supper Talent Show @ 5:00pm.
March 17 – Prayer Flags and Chili Supper Slideshow
To celebrate a job well done at the Chili Supper talent show, we’ll take a break from worship this week to sit back, enjoy a slideshow of our accomplishments, and create some really cool Lenten artwork.
March 24 – Welcoming
Join us for worship and small group time that focuses on what it means to welcome others. Welcoming is about creating space in our lives and our church for other people, and especially for “strangers.” We honor Jesus – who was often homeless himself – whenever wemake people feel at home and offer them a place to rest.
March 31 – Prayer Stations and Taize
This Wednesday, we’ll work together to create prayer stations that can be used by the entire PCUCC congregation prior to the Good Friday worship service at 7:00pm on Friday, April 2.
April 2 (Friday) – Good Friday
We’ll get together to facilitate the prayer stations and to attend the 7:00pm worship.
April 4 (Sunday) – Easter
All members of the youth group ministry are invited to attend the 8:00 or 10:30 Easter Sunday Worship Service, and for the church’s Easter Breakfast.
