on your mark, get set...

...Here we go! Its September, school's in session, and youth group is back in action! Before we look ahead, here's a quick recap of the summer we just finished up (can't believe I last posted on May 28th!!)

- We finished off the year last spring with a "goodbye Eryn" party - over the summer, Eryn and Robert got married in the Dominican Republic and are now back in Princeton (congrats to the happy couple!).

-after raising more than enough funds (wow!) the Kentucky Mission trip group of 36 students and 7 adults spent an amazing week in July serving the good people of Frakes, Kentucky. Pictures are here. What a week, and what a team!

-that same group got to share about our trip when we led in worship at church on August 30th. through sermons, songs, stories and scripture, we brought the lessons of Kentucky home to our church family (check the "sermons" tab on this page to hear what Mr. Reinicker, Meredith Hoobler, Haley Manochi and Matt Nussbaum had to say).

Its been a great summer!!

Here's what's coming in the next few weeks...

Sunday September 13th - All-Ages Kickoff!! 5-7 pm at the Middle School Ballfield (behind church). We'll play some wacky games, eat good food (hoagies & such), get to know each other, and look at the calendar for fall. Bring family, friends, neighbors, strangers... this should be fun.

Sundays, September 20th & 27th - we're back into our regular youth group schedule, with a slight twist: this year, all middle schoolers will gather at the same time (5-6:30 pm) as will high schoolers (6:30-8). Plan on a year of good coversations, zany activities, deep thoughts, and service to others. Where else can you find all that??!!

see you soon!!
