What's in a Name?

First of all, thanks to all of you who came out for hoagies and ultimate frisbee on Sunday. We got a great start on the year and I'm excited to watch our new group bond in the next few weeks...

So back to my question: what's in a name? A lot, actually. Which is why I decided it was high time our youth groups had a proper name! On Sunday, after hoagies, the middle school and high school groups sat down, put their heads together, and came up with AWESOME NAMES for their groups!! So, from now on, we'll have no "senior high" and "middle school" youth groups. No more "older group" and "younger group." From now on, our senior high youth group will be known as (drum roll here...)

S.O.L.I.D. ("Sharing Our Love In Devotion")

And, not to be outdone, Middle School Youth Group will now be known as (another drum roll...)

GOD SQUAD

!!!

Great job choosing names that are catchy, on target and meaningful. In the weeks to come, we'll explore the implications of the names you've chosen, and what our purpose is as a group.

In the meantime, enjoy these images I created based on your new names...

Looking Ahead:

This Sunday is our first week of regular youth group. Meet in the Youth Lounge (3rd floor of church). God Squad meets at 5:00 pm, S.O.L.I.D. meets at 6:30. Students should bring $3 for pizza dinner. Expect some games, some deep conversations, and a few surprises! Bring friends!

See you soon...
