It's Not Whiffleball...

... It's Whirlyball!! A new sport that combines bumper-car and jai alai, all in a big ice rink! Thanks to Amy Concilio, our youth group is invited to join the youth from Woodbury Presbyterian Church, to test out our whirlyball skills (or should I say "skillz"?) this Sunday afternoon. All youth grades 6-12 are invited!

Details: meet at church at 3:15 this sunday. Bring $5 for admission. We will drive over to the Hollydell ice rink and meet up with the Woodbury group. After we play, we'll head back to church, and you can plan on being picked up there at 5:30.

Don't miss this chance to be the first Whirlyball champion on your block!

See you then.

It's Like a Big Mac!!

Our full-blown three-tier youth group met for the first time on Sunday night!! Not one, not two, but three separate layers of youth-groupy goodness!!
-Senior highers discussed divine intervention with a little help from Almighty Bruce (left).
-Amy and her junior highers had the youth lounge to themselves and their pizza.
-6th graders joined their fearless leaders for some games and good times of their own.
The whole night was one big tasty treat!! Now if I could just "Biggie-size" it...


Looking ahead to this Sunday...







What do you get when you mix teenagers, mexican food and a 6.2 mile walk? LET"S FIND OUT!! The YouthGroup Cropwalk is this Sunday Afternoon!! All youth and their families are invited to meet up at Salsarita's (next to Starbucks on King's Highway) for lunch at 1:15. Then we'll head to King's Court for the walk at about 1:45. If you plan to walk the whole thing, plan on getting picked up afterwards at about 4:15, or later, depending on how fast you walk!

Because of Cropwalk, there is NO regular youth group this week. Look for November/December calendars in the mail soon!

Gettin' It Done

So, last Sunday, I figured a handful of us would go knocking on doors and raise maybe a hundred dollars for Cropwalk. Instead, fourteen of you - in about an hour - raised a grand total of... wait for it...
$900.00!!

Think of all the people who will
receive food, and clothes, and medical care, and renewed hope because of your efforts. I'm so proud of you guys!! This is what Cyberyouthgroup is all about!!

And to prove just how proud I am, I kept my foolhardy promise - to eat whatever the winning team ordered me for dinner at Wendy's. Little did I know it would look like this...


Thanks a lot Emily, Meredith and Kathryn!! A little strawberry yoghurt and mandarin orange on top of a chilli baked potato, with salt, pepper and creamer (?) thrown in for flavor. I will never forget the smell!! Yes, it was painful. Yes, I experienced digestive issues for about twenty four hours. But yes, it was worth it!! (am I tough, or what?!)

THIS SUNDAY We will have regular youth group, 6-7:30 in the church. Bring $2 for pizza, and be ready for some good times and the chance to talk about what youth group is and what it could be...

See you then!!

These are the people in your neighborhood...

Hey Cyberyouthgroup!! Want to raise some money to fight hunger?! Want to get out and cruise the streets on a beautiful fall day? Want to force-feed Jeremy the craziest items on the Wendy's menu? You can have it all at the same awesome event!!

THIS SUNDAY at 4:00 we'll meet at church. After a quick orientation, we'll head out in smaller groups to hit some Haddonfield neighborhoods. We'll go door-to-door to get sponsors for Cropwalk - the annual fundraiser to fight hunger. No, you won't have to dress like these guys. No, you don't have to commit to actually walking the cropwalk - we'll ask people to "sponsor the youth group," and then whoever walks on October 22nd (I know Danielle Watson and I are both in...) will represent all of us.

After going door-to-door we'll meet up for dinner with Dave. The group with the most pledges gets to hand-pick Jeremy's dinner (and he promises to eat whatever he's served). Other awesome prizes will be awarded, and you won't want to miss out. We'll be back at church by 7:00 pm.

Be sure to bring $ for Wendy's, and be ready to give Haddonfield a serious dose of cyberyouthgroup!! See you Sunday!!
