Here we go...

Thanks everyone for a great kickoff last Sunday! Over forty of you showed up for kickball, burgers, and one of the nicest September afternoons I can remember!

Special VIP awards go to Carolyn Kirsch for taking a kickball-to-the-bod at third base without flinching, and to Lily Gregorio for nicely apologizing afterward! Your sportsmanlike behavior has earned you both an official "Seal of Awesomeness":

Looking ahead, we are about to launch into an action-packed season of youth group! Here's what's coming up...
Friday night - all 6th & 7th graders are invited to a one-of-a-kind party, right here at church from 7-9pm! Come with an open mind and ready to have fun- you never know what Jeremy's got up his sleeve. Bring friends!!

Sunday Morning - while middle schoolers head to Sunday School and 9th graders head to Confirmation Class, 10th-12th graders are now invited to their own special session, in Jeremy's office from 9:30-10:30. The discussion will be headed up by Eryn, our awesome new intern from Princeton. This Sunday's topic: Harry Potter and the Garden of Gethsemane!! Be there!

Also, Parents of all youth-groupers are invited to attend an informal discussion/Q&A with Jeremy & Eryn, on Sunday in the chapel after the 11 am service (probably at about 12:15). Come hear some plans for the coming year and lend your creativity!

Finally, Sunday Night is our First Regular Youth Group of the year!!

Note the New Schedule: 6th&7th graders will meet from 5-6:30, and 8th-12th graders from 6:30-8. Everyone should bring $3 for pizza, and be prepared to think, play, laugh, go deep, go shallow, and everything in between! Eryn and I are excited to get started...

One last thing: you'll notice that CyberYouthGroup now plays tunes. If you want some peace and quiet, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "stop" button. If you have suggestions for tunes (with clean, uplifting lyrics, of course!) send them to me and I'll try to add them! This is YOUR blog!!
