"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."

I Timothy 4:12


	2008 Confirmation Class Teen Night/Confirmation We are off and running on Wednesday nights! There are groups for all ages beginning at 6:15 pm until 8:00 pm. This is a great opportunity to explore more about this FAITH we practice, meet NEW FRIENDS, and chill together. If you haven't come yet, DO SO, and if you haven't come in a while, WE MISS YOU! Taylor Hines is putting together a phone tree for all youth to keep in touch and help remind each other about coming on Wednesday nights. Contact Taylor if you don't think she has your number. PS. We teens LOVE TO EAT so we would be so blessed by people who would cook a meal for us once in a while at the beginning of our Teen Night. Please contact Becki Heitkamp or Pastor Sondra if you are interested. PPS. We really need a person who is willing to use their musical gifts each Wednesday at the beginning of our Teen Night for about 20 minutes. You could lead us in singing with voice or guitar or both. Maybe you will be so excited about our musical potential that you would be BOLD enough to teach us some songs that we can sing in worship on occasion. Special thanks to Pastor Sondra (working with 9th grade) and Claire and Tyler Matney (working with 10th grade and older). Some of the Spirit of Hope youth

	Confirmation Youth Navajo Mission Trip We are considering taking a group of youth to the Navajo reservation next summer, June 15 - 20th for a mission trip. If you think this is something you would be interested in and available to do, contact Becki Heitkamp or Pastor Sondra ASAP so we know how many to plan for. Campfirmation Participants:

Confirmation Students

Remember that you are required to complete at least 4 sermon notes for Wednesday Lenten Services. Sermon note forms are available in the narthex.

Registration/Permission Forms

A permission form must be on file for any youth, 7th grade and up, who plan to participate in any events during '07/'08. Come and hang out with this fun and crazy group. Email Becki Heitkamp at RHeitkamp@cox.net and she will email you the form.

Mentor Coordinator

We need a Mentor Coordinator who is sensitive to matching a youth with an adult mentor in the congregation. We also need mentors who will pray for the youth and check in with him/her once a month at church or by email or phone. Please consider being a mentor and making a difference to a teen. Call Becki Heitkamp for more information.
