May 2012 Youth Report

Youth Ministry

The youth ministry at Trinity is off to a good start. Last fall the ministry was effectively confined to Sunday School and workcamp. This year has seen the births of Momentum and Friday Night Fellowship. Momentum is a weeknight small group which has grown from 2 kids when we launched to averaging 6-8 kids each week and deepened from a fun fellowship time into a more substantial time for spiritual growth. Friday Night Fellowship is a bi-weekly (typically) gathering where we hang out, have fun, and build relationships; we just started it during May but have had as many as 15 kids (at the most recent one)- including many of this year's 15 confirmands (all of whom we're working to keep connected) and kids from outside our Trinity family. Our Sunday School classes were ably lead and I'd like to thank all who worked to make that happen. Our Middle School class experienced some growth but our High School class stayed pretty consistent and we are looking forward to investing more to develop those vital ministries in the fall. In the meantime we have a busy summer schedule ahead, the highlights of which are included below:

- Momentum and Friday Night Fellowship will continue throughout the summer.

- Stock Sale- now through July 8th!
- June 24th: Workcamp Fundraiser Luncheon (following 10:30 services).
- July 1st-2nd: Youth Lock-In- there will be snacks, games, and decorating for VBS.

- July 8th-14th: Buffalo Breakout- our summer missions project.

- July 20th: Stockholders Meeting- an evening of food, fun, and stories from Buffalo Breakout.

- August 17th-18th: FM 419- music, fun, and spiritual development put on by the Billy Graham Association.

Thank you all for your continual support!
