Summer happenings with Youth!
Hey guys-
There is no weekly ministry (Wednesday night, 7-830) at Good Shepherd this summer. But...don't you fret! We have a lot of different things that you can be a part of to help you build your faith and get to know each other EVEN better! (And who wouldn't? All of you are awesome!)
Senior Highers- Starting Thursday morning, June 14th, we will be having a Bible study at the bagel shop @ 10 am. For some of you, a ride may be an issue. If that is so, TALK TO ME! I can pick you up, or find someone who can. Bring money with you if you want to get a bagel/beverage/whatever else sounds delicious to you. The first few weeks will be a pretty low key study. Bring your Bibles, and we will take it from there. Starting Thursday, July 19th (same time & location) we will be talking about "How to Pick a Church." This will include some additional events when we actually go visit some different, awesome, churches! This will continue throughout the summer.
Junior & Senior Highers- Want to hang out and play some ultimate frisbee? Starting Tuesdays, June 26th, we will be meeting at a park (Location: TBA) on a weekly basis to hang out, play some ultimate frisbee, etc. Don't like ultimate frisbee? Then come anyway, and just hang out! (Or, play on the swings...I know you want to!) Bring a friend, too. Friends are awesome!
Valleyfair- If you are interested in our Valleyfair trip, look at the blog entry below! It is for junior and senior high! (Including those of you who will be in 7th grade this fall!)
SNOT- If you are interested in the event that is for all current 6th-8th graders, on Thursday, June 7th, look below!

Mission Trip Meeting- AWESOME!
For those of you who are going on the Pennsylvania mission trip, or just want to know more about our awesome youth, we had a mission trip meeting last week the youth who are going on the trip. This was a chance for them to be involved in some of the leadership activities that are a part of the trip. Designing t-shirts, planning devotions, evening activities, etc. I am consistently so impressed with our youth and the way they focus on others! So, get ready for more updates about our AWESOME youth and how they use their gifts to serve God!

Hello all!!
This is the first ever post blog post for our Good Shepherd youth blog. (Actually, it is the third or fourth, but I deleted those because they were stupid.)

Some things that you might want to think about doing is subscribing through email, (which you can do on the right side of the posts) and you can also like the posts so that they show up on your Facebook profile, and other people can read them. I will not be posting on this site daily, but definitely weekly. So this is a great way to have current information, but not flood your inbox or Facebook news feed. Feel free to leave me any comments, questions, or concerns that you might have!
