NCFF Youth Newsletter September 5th 2023
There are a lot of things happening now that school is back and fall is kicking off. Be sure to read everything to make sure you're in the know.
First off Youth Group nights are happening this Sunday. We'll be meeting from 6-8pm. We're starting a new series from RightNow Media called "The Heart of God" by Francis Chan. You can actually watch the videos yourself by clicking HERE, if you don't have access to RightNow Media reach out to our office and we can send you an invite to all of that content for free. This teaching series is in addition to games, worship, small group times, and a meal. So bring your students to be fed in every sense of the word to Sunday Nights.
Speaking of meals we need some more people to sign-up to bring the food. So many families and individuals stepped up in an amazing way over the past year by bringing a meal for our youth group. If you or someone you know can help us in this capacity please sign up. You can sign up by clicking the link HERE and sharing it with anyone who would like to help. This really means a lot to our students to have a place where they can get a meal.
We're also going to be having a parent meeting on September 17th for all families of both Youth and Children's Ministries. If you have anyone in your household under the age of 18, this meeting will be for you. It will be right after the second service and will be held in the Youth Room. This will be a great time to get questions answered and to meet some of the wonderful people helping in those ministries.
AWANA's still needs a slew of helpers and so if you have a student who's looking for a place to serve be sure to talk to Sarah, Arlene, or myself to find out what opportunities exist and how you can get plugged in.
If your student is playing sports please send us their game schedule. Carolyn and I love to come too games and try to make the local games whenever our schedules allow.
Last but not least, we'll be revealing some new ideas for youth including a new logo (see image below) in the upcoming months. I had an idea a while back for some branding for youth ministry and created a logo I was pleased with. The idea is that the "Y" stands for youth, the triangle represents the Trinity, and the circle symbolizes that we all belong within the Kingdom of God. Keen-eyed observers will have realized that Becca put this logo up in the hallway outside the youth room a while ago. I actually got some stickers, t-shirts, and pins with this logo and will be finding out a way to integrate it into the youth room. If you'd like to acquire any of these items, all proceeds will go straight towards our youth ministry.
OK that's all, there are a lot of things happening so this was a bigger update than normal. Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom. As always don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need anything, I look forward to what ministry will be like this year.
