Youth Programs & Children's Sermons
We are in need of
adults and high school youth to volunteer to
teach/facilitate the youth discipleship program for
2008-2009 as well as present the Children's Sermon.
We have three age
groups this year, thus the need for additional volunteers.
High school youth may teach/facilitate the children or
tweens on the fourth Sunday of each month when not attending
Snak-N-Yak.
The lessons are
all prepared and placed in a folder. The supplies needed
are located in the room. The preparation time should be
less than 30 minutes. The lessons can be picked up from me
or Lynn Turner the Sunday before the scheduled lesson. The
age groups are listed below. The sign-up sheets are posted
on the bulletin boards in the hallway between the church
office and the kitchen. Please sign-up or contact me
directly.
- Children -
ages 4 through grade 3
- Tweens
- grades 4-8
- High School -
grades 9-12
The Children's
Sermons are all prepared in advance. We need adults and high
school youth to present the sermons on the 1st, 3rd and 4th
Sunday of each month. Please sign-up or contact me directly.

November: The high
school and older tweens will have a mission fund raising event

the movie. The money earned will be put into the Youth Mission
Account.

earned will be put into the Youth Mission Account.
December 14: We will
have a Christmas Pageant on December 14. Sign-up will be in

considering having the children sing as well.
Spring
2009: We plan to offer a confirmation class this
spring for youth in grades 6-8. The dates and times will be
announced this winter. We will be contacting the parents in
person or via phone call to confirm participation. We will be
looking for youth and adult mentors for the confirmands.
Thank you for your
continued support of the programs for the youth of Whitelick.
We have some great things in store for everyone!
Cub Scouting is open to boy’s ages 7
to 10 or first through fifth grade. Memberships may be transferred
from other packs. There are also a variety of adult leadership
positions open. Training will be held for all adults so no
experience is needed.
Remember that you are only signing up for one year at a time.
This is open to all boys in the community so if you have neighbors
let them know and invite them to our organizing meeting in August.
