Calvary Next is a special ministry to our 6th -8th graders, who we recognize are no longer young children, but rather, have started into the early years of their adulthood, who we call 'young teens'. As young teens, we have a Sunday class for them that meets after worship on Sundays, depending upon the work schedules of those who have volunteered here. (Yes, we could use some more folks committed to the spiritual growth of our young teens.) Our goal is that by the time these young teens 'age out' of 8th grade, they are starting to own responsibility for their own spiritual growth as they become young adults. Since we see our young adults as young adults, they are asked to deliberately be part of the Sunday morning adult service and part of the adult volunteer activities once they begin to model Christ as central in their lives. We also offer Calvary Youth, a youth group open to grades 6-12, that during the school year meets on Thursday evenings, and at specific events during the summer.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Calvary Youth Group activities for April include regular Thursday services at 6-8 p.m., but
on April 21, there will be a scavenger hunt in the park **weather permitting** more info coming, see Jennifer
FINAL FRIDAY YOUTH SERVICE will be April 29th, Let's celebrate all that God has done in our lives this year!
We'll have food & games provided!!!
In May, graduating Seniors & 8th graders will be honored during the church service on May 1,
May 8th is both Mother's Day and Alliance's Graduation day (Hemingford's is May 7th)
May 20th & May 21st will be our Krispy Kreme Donut Fundraiser, with bulk sales of donuts to sell in person around town.
The current confirmed locations are Zesto's and Brenda's Cottage, which allows students to engage more with others.
***If you would like to pre-order donuts, or buy Krispy Kreme gift certificates for other for gifts,
or take an order sheet and get others to order, please contact me.
This summer's plans include service projects (is cooler than it sounds here, just ask me!) and camp.
Always check Facebook, or check the Youth board at church for news of upcoming events.
Our primary goal is to be available when there is a need in our church & youth family or community. We are keeping our eyes and ears open for opportunities to do outreach! But we are also aware that so many of our own Youth family are needing extra grace and love. Youth Ministry for us looks like genuine connection and being available.
“He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.
When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
2 Corinthians 1:4
So if you would like to be in the loop for our next community service opportunity,
