The youth group also meets for open gym from 6-6:45. Students are welcome to bring their own dinner to eat in the gym at this time as well.
Spring Jesus Practice: The Sermon on the Mount - What are some practices from the way of Jesus that can help us train to become more obedient to Matthew 5-7? This semester we’ll be learning about practices like fasting, confession, sabbath, and more practices that directly correlate to spiritual growth into the kinds of people described in the Sermon on the Mount.
March Recap
March was a great month for LYF! We nearly raised all the money we need for our mission trip through Solid Rock, the silent auction, and Roots. Over Spring Break a small group of students got together to serve at the church building, doing yard work, and with KARM. I’ve come to the conclusion that we should always try and put together service projects on days when students aren’t in school, even if only a few students are able to participate. With that in mind we’ll plan a way to serve together on Easter Monday. We’ve got alot of exciting things happening in April! I’m looking forward to getting back into a normal rhythm after KCS Spring Break!

4/25 - Human Scavenger Hunt: The Human Scavenger Hunt will be Friday 4/25 from 6-9 at West Town Mall. We’ll be splitting into teams, searching for our disguised adult volunteers, and having dinner together in the food court afterwards. Everyone will need to bring $10-$15 to pay for their dinners at the mall food court. We are in need of adult volunteers to either lead a group of students or to dress up in a disguise and be “hunted.” Adults and students can both register here.
4/27 - Leader Night: A gathering for LYF adult volunteers and student leadership team. At leader night we share a meal, worship, spend time in scripture, and work to improve LYF together. If any students are interested in being part of the student leadership team, or if any adults are interested in serving with LYF please let me know! This will be from 4:30-7:30
