Mid-High Youth Group Update for January and February 2010

by Haeley Buchinger

January

3 - 2 - 1 - Blast off!!! Like the New Year countdown, so we count down to another year (2010) of youth group fun : I am so excited to see you, hear about your holidays, and party it up. Below are the details for January. Please be sure to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Friday
Jan 8
As with any holiday, you have leftovers, and so do we from our 2009 Christmas Party. Today, from 5:00PM-8:00PM (Both), we will be meeting in the youth room to finally watch our movie, do a little discussing, and play our last game. Please bring a little leftover holiday spirit and $5 for pizza and pop.
Friday
Jan 15
PRIORITIES. Please meet me in the youth room from 5:00PM-6:30PM (5&6) or from 6:30PM-8:00PM (MH) with $5 in hand and a sharp brain. The winner of today's logic object lesson (the game that links the fun to the learning) will be taking home a whole lot-a candy!
Friday
Jan 22
Find it!! A little scavenger hunt related to a real life topic. Bring yourself, $5, and a friend if you would like. Times are as follows, in the youth room of course: 5&6- from 5:00PM to 6:30PM; MH from 6:30PM to 8:00PM.
Friday
Jan 29
Let's get out and about for the night! BONAVENTURE!!! Both groups will be meeting for a skate party from 7:00PM to 9:00PM in Farmington Hills (24505 Halsted Rd - meet here, not at the church). Please bring $15. This price includes your admission, skates, pizza, pop, ice cream, and a pass for free skating next time. Why not bring your friends too!

February

"Love, love, love, love, crazy love." Great song, and the reason we can be joyous and hopeful, love others and be free. But not because of any love- but God's love. Let's celebrate that this month, as well as some of the other things and activities below. As always, contact me with questions and concerns.

Friday
Feb 5
*** This meeting may change, a warning ahead of time***
We all know how billboards and such catch my eye when I am traveling (last years Snickers Youth Sunday), and so it continues. Today we will be looking at a few other billboards I have noticed. I want to see what you think. Please bring $5 for pizza and pop: 5&6- from 5:00PM to 6:30PM; MH from 6:30PM to 8:00PM.
Friday
Feb 12
Both groups: let's talk about that love. Meet me at the church from 5:00PM to 8:00PM. Please bring $5 for pizza and pop, and Valentines to pass if you are feeling festive. Another one of those holiday parties.
Friday
Feb 19
Have a lovely (but shorter) mid-winter break.
Friday
Feb 26
Round TWO of Haeley's billboard obsession. If you can correctly predict which billboard I am talking about today and bring in a picture of your guess, I will give you a BIG FAT PRIZE. Other than that, bring your $5 and arrive at the following times: 5&6- from 5:00PM to 6:30PM; MH from 6:30PM to 8:00PM.

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, they'd been worn all week and needed the air..." is an excerpt from the classic Christmas poem, and something that is coming true for all youth groupers this year. Each person will have a stocking hung in the youth room beginning the last week in November. Youth groupers are invited to add small stocking stuffers to everyone's sock- not a must, but something fun for the holiday season. These will be opened at our party on December 18. All other details are below. Ho, ho, ho, happy holidays and looking forward to the fun!
