TEC

Don’t forget to ask the youth that attended and the team that worked at TEC, the “Teens Encounter Christ” weekend held at Norway Lutheran Church Aug. 6-8 how it was.   Those attending the weekend for the first time are: Bella Christopherson, Caroline Kraemer and Kayla Krassman.  Those serving on team from St. Olaf are: Cody Millikin, Hannah Scheife, Kendall Uhlman, Jodi Anderson, Josh Leinberger and Justine Cadena.

Thanks to all those that worked to make the TEC

weekend a special time for the weekenders to feel the love of Christ.      

If any Sr. High youth in grade 10 or up is interested in attending a weekend, the next one will be the first weekend in February.  More info will follow at a later date.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL   “Thanks”

Thanks to all the youth that put forth their extra effort and hard work at the Ice Cream Social.     This fundraiser benefits you, the youth, if you choose to participate in the trips & events here at St. Olaf.    Planning of next year’s trip will be in the fall so watch for dates and details. 

 

                      

VBS  “Thanks”

Thanks also to all those that are signed up to help make VBS fun and exciting for all our younger youth.  They really look up to you older youth and

what can be better than sharing your faith with them.   You make Jesus smile.

                       

       

Confirmation class for 7th & 8th Graders 

Individual meetings with Pastor Matt & Justine will be scheduled August 22 & 29th for the youth in 7th & 8th grades & their parents.

Further details of the upcoming confirmation class & those meetings will be mailed to you at home & via e-mail.

 

 

Attention:  Youth (presently in and past confirmation class students) & parents:     

We have been supporting Tamirat Tule, the little boy in Ethiopia through Compassion for the last few years through the weekly donations from the students.  Thanks for your generosity but we still need your help!  We do not have enough in our fund to pay for Tamirat’s support for August & Sept.   Could you please think about giving up a McDonald meal or a few sodas & put an offering in an envelope marked “Compassion” for Tamirat?

 

 

Do I Have Your Email Address??
Hey, I like to get e-mail here at Church  youth@st-olaf.org and if you’d like to know what’s going on here at church and would like to get an e-mail message about it, send me your e-mail so I can send you an e-mail.  I already have some of them, so if I do, just send me a message anyway.  And check your mailbox downstairs as you enter the Youth Center .                              

Thinking of you, Justine
