From Our Youth Director,

I want to catch you all up on what the youth group has been doing. Most Friday mornings before school some of the youth and I meet for breakfast at McDonalds. We meet at 7:30 and talk about how the week is going and how glad we are that the weekend is almost upon us.

On Wednesday nights we meet from 6:30- 8. The first twenty minutes we just hang out and talk about what is going on in school or if there are any good movies out. Then after that we have our lesson. We just finished a three week span talking about guilt. Next week we will start talking about worry. After the lesson, if there is time, we will play some games or just hang out.

On Sunday mornings we are studying a book about the life of Jesus. We will finish this book in a couple of weeks and start a new study. We have also been talking a lot about how we can make our youth group and our church better. In a couple weeks we are going to make a wish list and a list of goals that we would like to see happen here at Maple grove. I hope this brings out a lot of excitement and new ideas.
Last month we had our annual super bowl party. The party was a lot of fun and as always, there was plenty of food. Speaking of food, the youth had a fund raiser selling subs for super bowl Sunday. We did pretty well and I want to thank everyone that helped us out. For Ignite last month we went bowling.

This month we are going to start meeting at IHOP again. We will meet the first Friday of the month at nine pm. The date is not final yet but we will be going to Fort Wayne to see a Komets hockey game sometime this month. We are also having a youth night during our annual revival services at the end of the month.
