To me, September is always a time for beginnings. With the colder weather comes a rush of new activities with kids getting back to school, vacations ending and new projects starting.

Life in the church is much the same. As the lazy days of summer end, we move back to two services. Sunday school starts again and youth group goes back to meeting on a regular basis.

As our youth group grows, we have members enough for both a senior high group and a middle school group. Once a month we will be doing one fun activity with both groups. In September we’re going to Rock the Universe at Universal.

Each group will also meet separately at the church for their own youth group. The Senior Highs will be watching and talking about Joan of Arcadia and the Middle Schoolers will be learning about some of the crazier stories in the Bible.

One of the new beginnings at the church is the new Senior High Room. Decorated to look like a coffee shop, the room has been painted in warm browns and outfitted with comfy floor pillows and pole lamps. We even have a frappuccino machine!

There’s a lot going on with the youth this fall and we hope that everyone gets a chance to join in.
